Bonjour à tous et à toutes ! Evolution du groupe: On fait des game jams mensuelles maintenant ! Pour ceux pas au courant, ça veut dire qu'on crée un jeu par mois le temps d'un week-end (vendredi soir -> dimanche soir). DONC je vous propose de nous retrouver chez moi (appart 43m2 dans le 17e) pour qu'on puisse créer ensemble le jeu de ce mois-ci ! Les règles pour choix du thème etc. changent chaque jam mais on penche plutôt pour que chacun écrive un mot par catégorie (e.g. thème, genre du jeu, direction artistique, etc.) et on tirera chaque catégorie au hasard au début de la jam ! A noter, on travaille sur Unity donc C# pour les programmeurs :) (après y'a GPT4 tout ça donc bon lol) N'hésitez pas à me MP sur le moindre sujet :D A très vite !! Jérémy

En 2026, on s'offre un double cycle de cours spécialement sur les valeurs (janvier, 4 cours) et les couleurs (février, 3 cours)! Comme ce sera le dernier cours du double-cycle, nous travaillerons surtout sur la pratique et l'appropriation des notions vues depuis le début de 2026. Bien entendu, il y aura également des rappels et des questions-réponses :) On se retrouve à 19h30, mais qui veut peut arriver au local à partir de 19h pour grignoter, discuter! Il y aura du thé et du café pour qui veut, il faut retirer ses chaussures car c'est une salle de danse (donc les bottes à lacets attendront une autre soirée). Paiement en espèces (25€), sur place, et il y aura un chapeau pour qui veut donner un peu plus au modèle! Le matériel n'est pas fourni. Hâte de vous y voir! 🙂

(Exeptionnellement à 10h30 😬) Je m’appelle Kenza et je fais du théâtre depuis 14 ans. J’ai créé cet atelier parce que j’adore voir des gens découvrir le plaisir de jouer, se surprendre eux-mêmes, et surtout... passer un bon moment ensemble. Nous aurons la chance de pratiquer dans une grande salle équipée de miroirs, un cadre idéal pour l'expression corporelle. Ici, pas besoin d’expérience : c’est un atelier débutant–amateur, pensé pour t’accompagner en douceur. On explore l’impro, les émotions, la présence, la créativité... toujours à travers des exercices ludiques qui donnent confiance. Le projet ? L'objectif est ensuite de constituer un groupe stable pour un cycle de 2 mois, afin d'évoluer, rire et tisser des liens forts ensemble. Mais il reste encore de la place pour les nouveaux, avant avant la représentation en petit comité du 15 mars. Mon but est simple : te permettre de t’amuser tout en te développant. Si tu veux tester, te découvrir et t’épanouir dans une ambiance bienveillante... tu es le bienvenu. 🎭✨ 👉 Lien du programme pour les curieux : https://quiet-reflection-place.lovable.app 🫱🏻‍🫲🏿Je serai accompagné de Yannick pour la partie Affirmation 🪙la première participation est à 10e (Code promo: EMOTIONAL) puis 24e
