Creative Writing / Story Telling Workshop for Children.
I specialise in running fun and engaging creative writing lessons for children. These lessons are to spark children's Imagination and improve confidence in their writing, spelling and Grammar.
I have a background in Drama education and therefore my teaching style is practical and interactive. In this creative writing workshop, we will create characters, journey to different lands and imagine ourselves in all different scenarios.
I find that through these creative writing sessions, children feel less worried about making mistakes in their writing because we imagine the stories together before putting pen to paper. By the time they put pent to paper there is less of a barrier, our imagination has been flowing and worries of making mistakes have gone out the window.

Trained in a European Grande Ecole & Ivy League University in the United States, specialized and has been working in Europe and North America for more than 16 years in this field, in reputable international institutions , also intervening in forums and conferences.
- Locations: Geneva - Lausanne - Friborg - Neuchâtel - Montreux - Basel - Sion - Sierre - Morges - Bienne. But currently and until further notice, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid.
These sessions, for which you have asked me, also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). Indeed, they have the advantage of face-to-face sessions (ex: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (ex: the entire session transcribed in writing on the chat). That is why, at your request, I continue to offer this option.
À la carte: evaluated and adapted to each personality.

Do you write? Do you feel like writing? Ideas running through your headYes! Do you write? Do you feel like writing?
But where to start and/or how to continue?
You have scattered writings, unrelated to each other - or worse, bored at the bottom of a drawer or in "Documents" on your computer... Ideas that run, run through your head but never cross the finish line.
So give their lives, and don't worry, I'm here!
Writer's block is a nice word/illness invented to reassure the "writer" stuck in the beginning of his text!
I took the plunge, I dared!, I wrote, reworked my texts and publishers appreciated them! Already 3 books published - and one in progress: Entre deux bleus, Papa Tango Charlie, Mals à mon slam)
You will see what a pleasure it is to have YOUR book in your hands!
And it will go faster than you think. As you know, two are always stronger!
The scheduled sessions are one hour long but we are allowed to go a little over - I didn't swallow a clock! - and what's more, you can't help but notice that we get a lot done in an hour! The story is moving forward, moving forward... thanks also to the personal work between two sessions - and the book is being written, from 30 pages, we've gone to 60 and it's not over yet...

Fundamentals to Writing a Compelling Screenplay (short or feature)This course is for "anyone" interested in learning the concepts, techniques, and skills required to write a film script. Regardless of writing for film, TV, or theatre, the fundamentals are very similar, however, this course will focus specifically on writing for the screen.
The course will take you through an understanding of what makes a compelling story, fully developed characters, writing dialogue, the basic three act structure, organizing your story thoughts, theme, tone, pace, outlining, learning screenwriting format, and most importantly finding your voice as a writer.
The classes will be tailored to your specific needs, but is intended to build upon various concepts, culminating with a completed short screenplay. This course will prove to be fun as well as interesting, enlightening, and will set you on the path for further writing.

✅IMPROVISATION, CREATIVITY, PUBLIC SPEAKING, COMMUNICATION, THEATRALIZATION: A WHOLE SUBTLE UNIVERSE TO EXPLORE (THE ART OF STORYTELLING...)✓ Improvisation is the art of composing within the framework of a role play, without being overplayed so as not to lose credibility, by taking pleasure and appearing convinced (because communication does not consist, for example, of having confidence, but of appearing confident). It helps with a wide range of skills (imagination, emotional faculties, physical expressiveness, vocal projection, clarity of speech, interpretation, improvisation, observation, emulation, stage combat...) to make public speaking, communication , the theatricalization enhanced by the stage space and the play of the actor - improviser.
✓ Your inventiveness, singularity, commitment and signature being at the center of this training, it is about giving you the techniques to improvise, create, stage, while showing confidence and conviction to your interlocutors, in the private sphere or of the professional.
✓ So how can you also confront your shyness or lack of (relative) self-confidence by surpassing yourself by moving forward?
➤ Express yourself with your body, your emotions, your ideas to mobilize your abilities and your creative energy
➤ Explore your path to personal expression in complete freedom and security by overcoming your fears of expressing yourself in public
➤ Activate flexibility of mind, particularly by practicing active listening
➤ Develop your creativity and imagination while overcoming your shyness, developing your speaking, listening and responding skills
➤ Anchor lasting resources such as letting go, leaving one's comfort zone thanks to a caring framework and personalized modules/exercises
In application: For example, awareness raising and introduction to the Art of Storytelling have several objectives: Storytelling in public, Composing a repertoire of stories, Organizing a collective show, Games and bringing emotions into play (...). These theoretical training and practical training sessions (story structure, voice, memory, diction, management of stage fright, etc.).
It is a question of going through the history of the tale (origin, different styles of tale, difference between tale and story), the art of telling (work on the voice, the body, the imagination), the tale and the child (importance of the story for the overall development of the child, resource of the imagination, difference between reading and telling) ...: in short, the intention of this course is to make you want even more, to better tell stories
Open to all those interested in the story (parents, teachers, animators, educators ...), these sessions can also be offered to the person of your choice.
With the program, for this example of storytelling art in particular:
✓ Explore and experience the art of storytelling and discover its hidden sides
✓ Express yourself with your body, your emotions, your ideas, play with situations (...)
✓ Mobilize your capacities and creative energy
✓ Open interior spaces of reverie
✓ Explore your path of personal expression in complete freedom and security
✓ Overcome your fear of public speaking
✓ Make room for your imagination, Develop your creativity
✓ Activate flexibility of mind, Practice active listening
✓ Cooperate, create, play down
The art of storytelling therefore allows you to develop your creativity and imagination, because you are both a director and an actor. It also allows you to overcome shyness and develop speaking, listening and responding skills. Each person evolves at their own pace and uses their sense of creativity.
Objective: to anchor sustainable resources such as letting go, creativity, presence or self-confidence. In short, this artistic discipline will accompany you in your personal development and will help you get out of your comfort zone thanks to a benevolent environment and playful exercises.
