📖 BIOGRAPHY

After studying science (mathematics and physics in preparatory classes for engineering schools, then philosophy of science and knowledge), Octave turned to psychology and cognitive science, and looked into research in 3 areas in particular: creativity, education and therapy.

Interested in processes of personal development and liberation, he also trained in contemporary tools of “brief therapies” and coaching such as NLP or Ericksonian Hypnosis, of which he is a certified Master Practitioner by the Society of NLP.

After training as an actor, he discovered many Russian and American techniques (among others : Constantin STANISLAVSKI, Stella ADLER, Sanford MEISNER, Lee STRASBERG, Eric MORRIS…) and it is the Meisner technique which particularly attracts his attention, beyond the unexpected sincerity that it confers to the actor, by its healthy, playful and simple side.

Noticing links with his previous fields of study, he also realised the variety of its approaches in the world. He then created Paris Meisner Studio (and PlayGrounds Channel - its online equivalent), to bring qualified teachers to Paris, in order to continue training in the right way while exploring complementary aspects of this technique, its history and evolution.

In his quest to perfect the understanding of the Meisner technique for himself and other students, he set up an original system of research and pedagogical development which led to the curriculum Meisner & systemic coaching.

In parallel to his teaching and directing activities, Octave continues to train in various related fields to enrich this research, having begun, among other things, a 5-year Gestalt therapy curriculum at EPG, a certified teachers training and a training in Brad Blanton‘s Radical Honesty tools (derived from Gestalt therapy and Ericksonian hypnosis, and aligned with the development of the Meisner technique’s work on points of view).

As well as traditional meditation techniques and Buddhist systems of mind-body connection, especially Vipassana.

In 2022, Octave produces and co-directs with Guillaume Caramelle the school’s first film, “C'est pas le Pérou !“ a French comedy written by Aurélien Laplace. The movie is available on OCS, CanalPlay and Amazon Prime.
