A dispo sur place: tapis, blocs See you there, Claire ♄ ★ Le yoga Vinyasa c'est quoi? Vinyasa est un terme Sanskrit qui signifie synchronisation du mouvement sur la respiration. Il est composĂ© de deux racines : « nyasa » qui signifie « placer » et « vi » qui signifie « d'une maniĂšre spĂ©cifique ». On dĂ©finit donc le yoga Vinyasa comme un enchaĂźnement de mouvements dynamiques, initiĂ© et harmonisĂ© par la respiration. Le yoga vinyasa est issu du yoga Ashtanga, qui lui consiste Ă  exĂ©cuter une sĂ©rie de postures dans un ordre bien prĂ©cis. À la diffĂ©rence de l'Ashtanga, le yoga Vinyasa est plus libre et crĂ©atif : il n'impose aucune sĂ©rie de mesures. Les enchaĂźnements sont le fruit de l'expĂ©rience acquise par l'enseignant et sont adaptables aux besoins de chacun. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **INFOS PRATIQUES** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- ★ DĂ©but du cours 11h10.

Le 3e homme
Le 3e homme
Sortez du duel, entrez dans le triangle ! On dit souvent qu'une bonne histoire repose sur la confrontation entre un hĂ©ros et un mĂ©chant. Mais que se passe-t-il lorsqu'une troisiĂšme figure vient bousculer ce face-Ă -face ? Qu’il soit un alliĂ© ambigu, un sauveur providentiel ou un « contre-pitre » qui rĂ©vĂšle les failles des protagonistes, le « troisiĂšme » est l’ingrĂ©dient qui donne de l’épaisseur, du suspense et du relief Ă  n'importe quel rĂ©cit. Venez explorer un secret bien gardĂ© des grands auteurs : ce personnage mystĂ©rieux qui vient bouleverser l'Ă©quilibre entre protagoniste et antagoniste. « À deux, c’est une lutte. À trois, c’est une aventure. » Atelier d'Ă©criture Samedi 14 fĂ©vrier, 15h DurĂ©e 2 heures. P.A.F. 15€ Inscription : https://www.helloasso.com/associations/les-anes-sensibles
Moins qu'un chien de C. Mingus / Je m'en vais de J. Echnoz
Moins qu'un chien de C. Mingus / Je m'en vais de J. Echnoz
Pour cette rencontre de FĂ©vrier, nous nous rencontrerons autour de : **Moins qu'un chien de Charles Mingus** Saint et pĂ©cheur, Charles Mingus, gĂ©nial contrebassiste et compositeur de jazz fut les deux Ă  la fois. Sous la forme d'une longue confession Ă  un psychiatre, Mingus raconte, sans fard, la lutte perpĂ©tuelle qu'il a menĂ©e contre le "monde des Blancs", la terre entiĂšre et Dieu. Homme de l'excĂšs, il a vĂ©cu plusieurs vies en une, dans laquelle les femmes ont toujours tenu un rĂŽle considĂ©rable. Si une place mineure est accordĂ©e Ă  la musique, les lignes qu'il lui consacre frappent par leur justesse et leur sens critique (notamment envers le free-jazz). Nourrie de dialogues abondants, la narration, passant d'un "je" passionnĂ© Ă  un "Charles" ou Ă  un "Mingus" distanciĂ©s, souligne son caractĂšre schizophrĂšne. On flirte souvent avec le dĂ©lire, et le dĂ©tour par l'asile que fera Mingus n'Ă©tonnera personne. Plein d'humour et d'outrances, son livre aurait pu reprendre le titre d'une de ses compositions : Tout ce que tu pourrais ĂȘtre aujourd'hui si la femme de Sigmund Freud Ă©tait ta mĂšre. **Je m'en vais de Jean Echnoz** "Je m'en vais" annonce FĂ©lix Ferrer Ă  la femme qui partage sa vie. Et le voici lancĂ© dans une grande aventure. Sur la foi de son collaborateur Delahaye, ce galeriste parisien part pour le PĂŽle Nord. Quarante ans plus tĂŽt, un navire a fait naufrage sur la banquise et Ă  son bord se trouveraient des Ɠuvres d'art inestimables : de l'art borĂ©al, palĂ©obaleinier. Le trĂ©sor trouvĂ©, rapportĂ© Ă  Paris, entreposĂ©, alors que Delahaye est mort, voici qu'il est dĂ©robĂ©. Ferrer est effondrĂ©, au bord de la faillite. A-t-il Ă©tĂ© manipulĂ©, otage d'une sordide affaire combinĂ©e Ă  son insu ? Les Ă©vĂ©nements vont s'enchaĂźner, de plus en plus incroyables, insolites et fascinants... FĂ©lix Ferrer, sĂ©ducteur quinquagĂ©naire au systĂšme cardiaque peu brillant et propriĂ©taire d'une galerie d'art moderne sur le dĂ©clin, s'en va. Il quitte sa femme pour en rejoindre une autre. Il abandonne Paris six mois plus tard et embarque Ă  bord d'un bateau pour une expĂ©dition dans le Grand Nord canadien, Ă  la recherche d'objets d'art inuit, enfouis dans une Ă©pave Ă©chouĂ©e sur la banquise. En effet, sur les conseils en investissement de son informateur et assistant Delahaye, Ferrer se dĂ©cide Ă  aborder l'art ethnique, plus Ă  la mode que la peinture moderne. Il rentre Ă  Paris avec son trĂ©sor inuit qui vaut une petite fortune. Quelques jours aprĂšs son retour, les antiquitĂ©s disparaissent mystĂ©rieusement... Ferrer, de nouveau victime d'alertes cardiaques, se rĂ©veille un jour Ă  l'hĂŽpital. Son regard se pose sur une belle jeune femme. Cette fois-ci, de façon surprenante, elle ne l'attire pas... Par la magie d'une Ă©criture pleine d'ironie et de lĂ©gĂšretĂ©, Je m'en vais, faux polar mais vrai roman, rĂ©compensĂ© par le prix Goncourt 1999, conduit trĂšs progressivement son lecteur au dĂ©nouement des intrigues avec une sorte de dĂ©sinvolture et un humour certain. **PrĂ©sentations d'auteurs** AnnaĂŻck et Zelda se chargeront, respectivement, de nous faire une courte biographie de MINGUS et de ECHENOZ afin de mieux Ă©clairer/contextualiser les deux Ɠuvres. Merci Ă  elles ;) ! **Inscription** Ne vous inscrivez, s’il vous plaĂźt, que si vous ĂȘtes sĂ»r/e de pouvoir lire au moins une des deux Ɠuvres et d'ĂȘtre prĂ©sent/e le jour J. Au plaisir de se rencontrer, dĂ©battre, discuter, autour d'un verre !

Build-a-blockbuster - An improv show in English
Build-a-blockbuster - An improv show in English
It's cinema... without a script. Each night, the audience's ideas inspire four brand-new "films," performed live on stage. From epic fantasy to wacky westerns and painfully awkward rom-coms... you suggest it, the actors bring it to life! After every round, the audience votes one story off the reel until only one survives... the blockbuster of the night! Fast, funny, and unpredictable, this improv show turns movie magic into comedy mayhem. The chaos is brought to you by Foreign Exchanged, a motley crew of international improvisers from all over the world — India, the US, Russia, Colombia, Lebanon, Moldova, France and beyond — making their way through Paris, one English faux pas at a time. Come for the accents, stay for the laughter. please book here https://www.billetreduc.com/spectacle/spectacle-d-improvisation-en-anglais-381367

Shut Up & Write! Kingsdale Shopping Center
Greetings writers! Come down and join your fellow wordsmiths for one hour of uninterrupted writing time in the upper level of the Market District Supermarket in Upper Arlington. The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo. Writing is largely a solitary craft. Practicing with others in a community setting may be the thing you need to fire your own routine. We’ll meet on Wednesday evenings, starting the clock at 6:30, following a brief period of introductions. This is solid writing time and all inclusive. Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you. The market boasts a Starbucks, a full service bar and various affordable food options. Parking is plentiful, free Wifi is provided as well as outlets for charging your devices, though they are somewhat limited, so plan accordingly. Show up as early as you like, or stay late. This group tends to socialize some, both before and after the alloted time, but this is not mandatory to you. Feel free to come and go as you please and late arrivals are welcome. The cafe may be noisy on occasion so headphones/ earbuds are reccommended as you see fit. Please try to RSVP if possible so that we may grab enough seats for all—the venue can be busy at times. Feel free to message me privately wth any questions and/ or concerns you may have. Happy writing!
Speak Easy (Storytelling)
Speak Easy (Storytelling)
The topic for February is "Transitions" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!

Fun Friday: EPiC: ELVIS PRESLEY IN CONCERT at Lennox Phoenix Theater!
Fun Friday: EPiC: ELVIS PRESLEY IN CONCERT at Lennox Phoenix Theater!
Join us for something different as we get together to see EPIC: ELVIS PRESLEY IN CONCERT! While researching his 2022 film, director Bas Luhrmann came across and compiled rare and previously unseen interviews and videos of Elvis in concert to create “one of the most exciting concert films you’ve ever seen!” Here are details, a trailer and our plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: Part documentary, part concert film, the latest from director Bas Luhrmann is a follow-up to his 2022 film starring Austin Butler. While researching the film, he came across 68 boxes of previously unseen interviews, concert performances and outtakes from previous films. A combination of offstage and onstage Elvis, comes a film that “befits the magnitude of Elvis as a performer but also offers deeper revelations of his humanity and inner life." It is written/directed by Baz Luhrmann (ELVIS, MOULIN ROUGE, THE GREAT GATSBY) and stars the legendary Elvis Presley! TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmqWusmzp0k BUZZ AND ACCLAIM: The film screened at the 2025 Toronto Film Festival where it was the runner up in the category People’s Choice Award for Documentaries. Next Best Picture says, “Certain to energize longtime fans and generate new ones for generations to come, EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert is a masterwork of montage.” And according to the NY Post, whether you have a room in the house devoted to Elvis or not, this truly “Epic” concert film is an energizing experience!” PLAN: We’ll plan for a pre-show bite at nearby BRAVO around 5 or 5:30pm followed by a 7pm-ish showing on one of their larger screens. Once showtime is announced, advance ticket purchase is advised. Please list your seat number in the Comments below. Exact showtime and meeting details will be confirmed/announced as the date gets closer. Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
