SUMMARY:Resonance Series | Authentic Writing workshop with Thomas Duret
DESCRIPTION:Join Thomas Duret for a poetry workshop\, “Authentic Writing”. This workshop is an invitation to dive deep in yourself to get to the essence of you are experiencing\, whether you have a disability or not. Find a way to assemble words smoothly to reshape the world with your vision and use poetry to transform the narrative.\n\n\n\nEvent details: Authentic Writing workshop | May 4\, 2026| 6:00pm-7:30pm CDT | Virtual (via Zoom\, register below) | ASL provided | Free \n\n\n\nThomas Duret creates performances\, hybrid forms\, scenic systems\, and interdisciplinary projects that adapt to the social contexts in which he operates. In his creations\, Duret uses as a starting point a psychological mechanism of the human being or a societal mechanism and\, through the spectrum of power dynamics\, explores their impact on the individual and the collective. The codes of theater\, dance\, performance\, clown\, music\, visual/plastic arts\, and sport are all tools (which he doesn’t hesitate to subvert) for creating artistic objects\, while seeking to redefine the audience’s role as actants of the project rather than passive spectators. Thomas focuses his activities on creating new scenic forms/writings through a collaborative\, interdisciplinary\, and socially inclusive approach. \n\n\n\nSince 2011\, more than twenty projects and performances have been presented in various institutions and festivals in Quebec (La Chapelle – Scènes contemporaines\, Mois Multi\, Les Escales Improbables de Montréal\, Festival de rue de Lachine\, ZH\, OUMF\, and Festival International de Littérature). The company has obtained several residencies for its projects\, both in Canada (Montreal\, Maison pour la Danse de Québec\, Sherbrooke (CASJB)\, Ottawa (Théâtre du Trillium)\, Longueuil\, Vaudreuil-Dorion\, and Victoria (BC)) and abroad (Senegal\, Germany\, France\, Argentina). \n\n\n\n\nRegister here
