Les Footings d'Écriture
- On 16 june 2024
- La Ferme
- Desacralize and authorize yourself : these are the two key words in this writing jog. I'm not saying that everyone can be a writer, but I'm certain that everyone can write, and we'll see that after three or four little writing games, the blank becomes a word, the void becomes a sentence, everyday life becomes fiction, and fear is transformed into pleasure. Authorization, because the act of writing is not reserved for an elite, and during this jog I'll try to get you to authorize yourself to write, because every writer is unique. - Jogging gear required, a moment of poetry guaranteed in a nod to the Olympic Games.
