Overview
A writing workshop followed by a ball where dance and readings of new texts alternate! We dance, we listen to a text, we dance again, we listen again… and so on!
The writing workshop (Registration required)
From 3:30 PM to 6:30 PM, we prepare for the ball. Songs as a source of inspiration. We get our pens in the mood and write for a festive public presentation at the grand literary ball, that same evening. A writing workshop animated by the energy and suggestions of Emmanuelle Jeser, author and actress from La compagnie de la tendresse. We will go in search of French songs that cross generations and make everyone want to dance!
What to bring with you
Your desire to write… and some ideas for French songs that, in your opinion, get everyone on the dance floor! Emmanuelle will give you some tips for reading your texts aloud, in public and without stress.
The Ball
From 7 PM, the grand literary ball begins! Come and read your text into the microphone! And if stage fright is too strong, Emmanuelle will gladly read it for you. Only one challenge: succeed in getting as many people as possible onto the dance floor!
