ABSTRACT={This article explores phenomenological and enactive approaches in the fields of artistic creation and pedagogy. The author begins by sharing their personal and professional journey, emphasizing the importance of resisting "disciplinary capture" as well as the interdisciplinarity in their work. They describe their discovery of Francisco Varela’s enaction theory and how this theory has influenced their artistic and pedagogical practice. The author provides several examples of enactive practices in both artistic and pedagogical domains. For instance, they mention the use of mind mapping as an enactive practice "without knowing it", and a pedagogical experiment at the University of Evry where students were given great autonomy to create a collective performance. They also discuss their photography practice in the giant sequoia forest Muir Woods Monument Park, where they experimented with camera movement to capture the energy of the place. Finally, the author discusses intentionally enactive projects, such as their participation in a Cerisy colloquium on chance and creation, and The Haiku Project, where they explore the concept of haiku in various artistic practices.}}
