GALA DINNER – REVEALING NEW TALENTS

The WHO’S WHO has always been the network of networks, bringing together the French elite and leaders in every field: economic, financial, political, scientific, cultural, artistic, sports, and gastronomy. It is a high-value and essential network that highlights achievements, expertise, and successes that embody French excellence.

As part of this annual gala dinner, Alexandra Cardinale was officially invited to become a member of the WHO’S WHO, a recognition and a true encouragement for the continuation of her artistic commitment. This distinction allows dance, creation, culture, and the production of live performances to find their place within this prestigious network that showcases French talent in all its diversity.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2024 – DIJON ACADEMY – SAPAD 71 / TED-i – STARS AT THE CASTLE
HUGO MARCHAND FOR DANCE – Château de Digoine PALINGES

SAPAD 71 / TED-i (educational support at home, in the hospital, or at school)

The joint service of PEP and the National Education System allows children or teenagers facing illness or accidents to maintain a connection with school, not only for their expected academic learning but also for the equally essential aspect of social interaction. Staying connected to the world and having access to culture and moments of escape are crucial.
Additionally, telepresence devices (robots installed in classrooms or other locations…) offer young students the opportunity to keep their place as learners, stay in touch with classmates and teachers, and participate in real-time activities (a class, an outing, informal exchanges during recess…), provided there is a stable network connection at home/hospital and at the location where the BEAM (robotic solution) is positioned.

“Dear Alexandra,
I wanted to thank you all again for making a place for Maëlys and for allowing another young boy, Thibaut, to attend the performance in person on Saturday, the 14th. I was deeply touched by the attention given by all the dancers and the team on the day of the performance. It gave her a brief respite from the pain caused by treatments and allowed her to discover your world and the enchanting setting of Château de Digoine. She told me she was able to zoom in to fully enjoy the ballet excerpts. I gave her the signed program and sent her the souvenir photos of this special moment!”

07 SEPTEMBER 2025 – POST-PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION – LES ÉTOILES AU CHÂTEAU
HUGO MARCHAND FOR DANCE – MONT SAINT-MICHEL

Discussion with about twenty participants from child welfare associations and people with disabilities.

A session punctuated by interactive exchanges with the young audience about the profession of a dancer, the relationship with the body, and respect for others.
Dancing is also about learning to touch others… and that begins with the simple act of holding hands together.

The importance of introducing our profession, sharing our passion, and engaging with those who have never had the chance to attend a dance performance. A lot of joy and spontaneity during these exchanges.

15 and 16 JULY 2025 – DIJON ACADEMY – SAPAD 71 / TED-i – LES ÉTOILES AU CHÂTEAU
HUGO MARCHAND FOR DANCE – Domaine national de CHAMBORD

SAPAD 71 / TED-i (home, hospital, or school-based educational support) and BEAM (robotics solution)

The joint service provided by PEP and the French Ministry of Education enables children or teenagers facing illness or accidents to maintain a connection with school — not only for essential learning purposes but also for the equally vital aspect of social interaction. Staying connected to the world and having access to culture and moments of escape are indispensable.
Thanks to telepresence devices (robots installed in classrooms or any other location…), young students can keep their place within the class, remain connected with their classmates and teachers, and participate in real-time in various activities (a lesson, a field trip, informal conversations during recess, etc.).

“Dear Alexandra,
What a joy and honor it was to share these two days at Chambord and to see how this initiative brought great emotions to Médina (15) and Manel (11). Breaking down distances and obstacles to allow everyone to attend the performance and discover this exceptional place. Both young girls exclaimed ‘wow’ when I showed them the gardens and the château’s façade — and they hadn’t even seen the dance yet…
Médina expressed her thanks for this ‘magnificent performance,’ and here is the message I received from Manel’s mother at 9:32 pm on July 16:
“Good evening Mrs. Baradel, a thousand thanks for this evening, it was magnificent, such an incredible emotion… I promised Manel that I would do everything to be there in person next year.””
