We'll discover the percussive sounds most commonly used by today's human beatboxers, and try to understand and experiment with techniques for imitating drums, saxophone, trumpets, guitars, scratches... After a series of rhythmic and vocal games involving articulation, desynchronization and breathing, we'll tackle the techniques specific to Human Beatbox.

Slam: L'écrire pour le dire / Writing and speaking

The aim of the workshop is to make poetry accessible to all, and to help people move beyond elitist conceptions of poetry. The various exercises on offer will help to break down barriers between aesthetics and genres through song, nursery rhyme, rap and other oral aesthetics.

After collective verbal improvisation games, we'll take time to write individually, based on instructions, and share our texts, paying close attention to various notions such as presence, quality of address, voice and intentions, to make our performance as lively as possible.
Musicality of language: Beyond the meaning of words, voice and speech are musical instruments. We can play with sound, rhythm, intonation, speed...
