Elodie Tuquet, a follower of live performance, curious about all forms of art and the multiple uses and expressiveness of the body, chooses dance as a means of expression and performs as a dancer (L. RIVA, REDHA, K. SAPORTA, Etienne CHATILLIEZ, DESCHAMPS / MAKEIEFF, J. THOMAS), as a choreographer (M. BRILLANT, J. FAUCHER, Cie Alchymère, Cie La Capillotractée), as a coach (K. SAPORTA and Magali B), as a teacher (IDFP, Studio Harmonic, Studio 97, Magénia).

As a street artist, manipulating burning objects, dancing on stilts, she works for the companies MALABAR (Le voyage des Aquarêves), NAGARYTHE (Terre de feu), NAN! (clown performances and dancing on stilts), REMUE MENAGE (Les Excentriques, les Boblins...), LES FILLES EN AIGUILLES (contemporary dance and manipulation of burning objects) ...

She is also a performer in her own creations within the company UTT! and creates "Vitesse limitée" (a solo dance), "Label vie active" (a quartet on stilts), "Duodenum" (a duo of theater-dance on stilts), "Gwendoline" (clown on stilts).

Always in search of new means of expression, she continues as a clown, as a trapeze artist, and carries on her training in yoga and in Alexander technique.

She works within the Frichti Concept company as a dancer-performer, as an outside observer and as a choreographic assistant and she enriches the company projects thanks to her many facets.

Movement is part of Virginie Avot's life.

She became attracted by dance on seeing Swan Lake at the age of five.

She nourished this passion through various forms, classical dance of course (Cie Tessa Beaumont),     modern dance (Cie Rue des Arts), jazz (Cie Ray Collins), contemporary dance (Sophie Meyer, Pedro Pauwels ...), dance-theater (The Mezzanine, Co. Air intake) and even revues (international tour)…

She then experimented the floating dimension through vertical dance (Cie the passengers, Back to the tree, Air intake). It took her 7 years to explore the air and tame gravity. After a pretty bad fall, she trained in the Feldenkrais method and became a practitioner, radically changing her relationship to dance movement.

She is now reconnecting with the ground and experimenting the use of street furniture dancing in Frichti Concept company's creations.
