Chronicle history of arts – recordings
This morning with the team of take it studio (radio of the fédération des foyers ruraux) we recorded my chronicle fake news and history of arts, a big thank you everyone for this great time. This chronicle will be broadcast soon and you will be informed about it. This is a drawing that I created :
Suggestion of the end of the year
It was a pleasure to share a book on November 20th at the Le Presse Papier bookstore’s book club. For this event, I chose to present “Women Also Made History” by Titiou Lecoq.
This book recounts the epic story of women chronologically throughout history, rectifying facts.
During this presentation, the readers present suggested two other books: one was *L’inconnue du portrait* by Camille Perretti, and the other was *Le cantique du chaos* by Mathieu Belezi, a dystopian novel. The bookseller made slightly different choices, which I also invite you to discover.
With that, I wish you all happy holidays.
Culture as a bulwark against obscurantism
In a previous article, I mentioned a survey by the National Book Center concerning reading in 2025, which complements the information and knowledge that I learned during this conference organized by occitanie culture (occitanie livre). During the web conference on illiteracy and illiteracy that I attended, I asked myself several questions about the socio-economic consequences, dropping out of school seems to me to be one of them. The interventions were very interesting. To find out more here are two links, one to the official website of national book center and the other to occitanie culture.
Creation of characters : the behavior
When creating characters, whether for a novel or a play, two notions are important: observation and empathy. It is possible to imagine the physique and character traits beforehand, however, observing reality allows you to create very realistic fictional characters. Where are they heading? what pushes them to act?
Likewise, asking yourself what the characters feel, making them act according to their values to maintain a certain logic, all of this is part of what we can call empathy for the characters we create. Personally, I have always really liked the characters in my stories and when I had to create “bad guys” it was never easy and I often write them a past that helps enlighten readers.

Note books : suggestions and opportunities
When I was studying one of my theatre projects, I consulted many books that allowed me to document myself. There are many ways to go towards greater energy sobriety.
Many of these measures are in the magazine Théâtre(s) N°33 – Printemps 2023.
Lots of documentation also on the page: artcena documentary resources.
