This afternoon was held at Leadership Centre Château-Landon , the third writing workshop on the city led by Pierre Menard, as part of its writer residency at the Bookstore supported by the Ile-de-France . The theme of this session was: city: theater of our childhood.
around a selected word in the vocabulary areas (Booth, neighborhood, bus, street paving, urban vocabulary), find the city of his childhood, through short texts with sounds echoing beyond assonance, exercises in rhythmic precision, composition, phrasing, where words magnetize at full speed from the cock in the ass from the station to market. The list is a way of fragmenting all very precise and varied, details, thumbnails. The trigger of this frenzy is primarily verbal sound.
Valprémy Michel, Albumville , Workshop of the Lamb, 2002.
Within the city, sometimes in the most secret, the most remote, Michel Valprémy is held by places, persons or characters, and indeed its substance. Roguery and humor, toughness and daily memories, dialogues: Urban flora a very personal, finely chosen, a herbarium city where plants would be replaced by elements gleaned over the streets. Developed an observation related to fine writing, makes us very familiar texts by giving us the urge to invent our own album.
Tapping into the names of streets, neighborhoods where it has spent his youth material to write short autobiographical texts, fragments of life, family biography, places operated as a theater of memory.
Jacques-Francois Piquet Names Nantes, Joca Seria, 2002.
Jacques-Francois Piquet spent his childhood in Nantes. In this book, he remembers all the places he frequented, so that function as the theater of memory. His youth registered in the name of city streets. Neighborhoods, plazas, gardens, streets, succeed in a topological classification, and what a family biography that discovers, with its festivals and its sorrows, fears and friendships. From street to street, over his memories, the author discusses the footsteps of his childhood in various places of his youth, a time when the presence reappears in the recesses of memory of a face, a name, signature music, a love.
You can read the very beautiful lyrics written by workshop participants on the site Liminal Pierre Menard .
