Canoës explores all aspects of voice and highlights the physical act of communication through our vocal cords, but also through the tone, perspective, and register that permeate our writing. Inspired by the Canoës short story collection, Maylis de Kerangal will analyze aspects of voice through text – both written and staged – during the live session: the nuance of language or the accent, the memory it contains, how the breath is there in your voice and on the page. So, let’s embark on Maylis de Kerangal’s writing canoe!
Part 1: 11-12 pm: Optional writing session (writing instructions will be provided in French and English)
Part 2: 12-12:30 pm: Maylis de Kerangal on the writings of three participants (in French)
Part 3: 12:30-1 pm: Maylis de Kerangal speaks with with Annie Heminway (in French)
All CALA students, faculty, and friends are welcome.
À bientôt!
