OUR POETRY SECTION

RACE

Inspired by the image of the fledgling bird, this course is aimed at anyone wishing to leave the nest and take poetic flight.

Taking the participants' innate abilities as its starting point, it gradually develops awareness of each individual's creative potential.

WORKSHOP

The workshop allows you to put the different technical elements covered during the lessons to the benefit of creativity, interpretation and play.

Unlike the course, the workshop is not a succession of exercises, but a space and time entirely devoted to a theme or aspect of poetry as a holistic art used for the preparation of stage and theatrical work.

"What does knowledge matter if it is not of feeling,

What wants to be well said must be vibrant;
Even though technique and science are learned,
The artist himself holds the art of transcendence."

Module I (elementary):

Automatic writing

The aim of automatic writing is to introduce the participant to the act of writing through writing games.

Spontaneity is emphasized, and no structural, grammatical or spelling constraints are imposed.

Module II (medium):

Write the way...

"Writing in the manner of" aims to make the participant discover a certain number of poetic texts by an overview of works revolving around theater, poetry, song or other, according to the wishes of the group.

Through a game of textual mimicry, participants will be confronted with poetic forms from which they will have to draw inspiration and insert their own emotions and/or imagination.

Module III (secondary):

personal project

In this course, participants who have completed modules I and II will develop a personal project, individually or in a group, and will be advised and supported in their creative process.

With individual help, each one will be given the opportunity to contribute the fundamental discipline of their choice in order to give rise to an artistic achievement. This will be done with the approval of the teachers concerned, if necessary.

This may take the form of a poetry reading, a play, a musical or something else, the goal being to put on a show in the form of interdisciplinary paintings.

The final result of this module is highly dependent on the participants' commitment and involvement.
