Poetic and musical writing around the forest universe

Led by Cleo T (artist and musician)

The workshop begins with a time to discover the piano and the vocal instrument.
The audience enters the music through vocal warm-ups and then takes part in the musical composition. Bird songs, blowing in the branches, nocturnal animals, the audience with the artist builds an imaginary soundtrack of the forest.

Immersed in this sound environment, the public is invited to imagine a poem, accompanied by the artist in writing experience.
