Atelier d’écriture

open to all Sun 19 et Sat 25 | on registrations

The Atelier d’écriture (’Writing Workshop’) addresses performing arts from a written perspective by encouraging audiences/writers to activate and produce meaning. Writing ideas down or giving them a visual shape can help formulate, develop and share those ideas efficiently. Assisted by performing arts specialist Laurent Pichaud, the group of participants benefits from a formative and privileged framework to reflect on, debate and write about the shows that they have seen during the festival. The workshop also includes meetings with artists and professionals present at the festival. Designed like a summer university programme, the workshop brings together students from HEAD – Genève, the Swiss Literature Institute in Biel, the University of Performing Arts of Western Switzerland (La Manufacture) in Lausanne and ECAV School of Art & Design in Sierre.

The Atelier d’écriture is open to all on Sunday 19 and Saturday 25 August. Novice and seasoned writers alike are welcome to join this buzzing workshop by applying for one or two full days.

1 day  chf 30.– / 2 days  chf 60.– including participation to the workshop and a ticket for the show the evening prior to the workshop
