When I work on an art project, I do researches. Some are directly related to the creative phase and others concern implementation. Here is an address to a platform offering support for live theatrical performances. You will find the link here.
Avignon festival 2023
This year I went to the Avignon festival for about one of my artistic projects. This allowed me to connect and establish contacts but also to discover new live shows.
I made the choice to explore several themes such as burlesque which is close to musical theater and also to revisit certain classics such as William Shakespeare.
My visit to the off village was very rewarding on a professional level. I attended an author’s conference (interview of Michèle Gazier by Harold David) as well as a round table on theatrical writing, three different profiles of artists working in live performance exchange their experiences with the public.
To combine skills
I really like to combine skills on an artistic project. For example, after writing a text and dialogues, composing music allows me to visualize the whole thing and explore different formats.

Learning-collaboration
Readers often ask questions related to our business. Each author has her own path and techniques. For my part, I often write my ideas on sheets or a notebook without lines. This allows me to move them more easily. On the other hand, when I write, the computer is my main tool. That said, I also sometimes use a recorder so as not to lose musical ideas that I use (or not) as needed. The photo I posted today corresponds to the project I’m working on. For this one I called on other professionals to finalize certain parts (enlargements, rereading translation, advice, asked actors their opinion to make a proposition and to play)
Inspirations and places
When I’ve written a story, go to the places that inspired meaning. And very often, my visit reveals supposed elements that I had not thought of. As part of “duel in Albi”, after a walk in the park and in the city, I discovered several historical monuments as well as two museums, one dedicated to Toulouse Lautrec and one dedicated to fashion. It immediately made me think of fairy tales and theater stage costumes.
