Write differently. Write more freely.
This workshop is designed to get you writing, simply, in French.
Less academic. Without pressure. Without getting stuck in front of the page.
The objective
- Write more often.
- Be more comfortable.
- And enjoy writing.
What you'll be working on
- Write more fluidly, without thinking too much
- Develop your vocabulary by writing
- Test different forms: narrative, dialogue, poetry, short texts
How it works
We write based on simple instructions. Sometimes a theme, sometimes a constraint, sometimes a starting text.
The goal isn’t to be perfect. It’s to try, to explore, to find your own way of writing.
You'll be testing different styles:
- write simply, like Jacques Prévert
- playing with words, like Raymond Queneau
- write more orally, inspired by Michel Tremblay
- use constraints, like Georges Perec
- write personal texts, like Annie Ernaux
- go for something more refined, like Marguerite Duras
Each session includes short writing activities and exercises; longer, original productions are to be completed between sessions.
