Marion Chabloz has been passionate about theatrical improvisation and theater since she was a teenager, but it is only after obtaining her teaching diploma that she decided to embark on an artistic training. In 2013, she joined the H class of La Manufacture where she had the chance to work with teachers such as Oscar Gomez Mata, Valeria Bertolotto, François Gremaud, and Charlotte Clamens. As soon as she left school, she worked alongside Marie Fourquet in 38 sequences. In 2018, she puts herself on stage in Si tu t'mettais un peu dans l'moule, conceived and performed by her. Following this show, she begins a residency at L'Abri as an associate artist to develop her next staging. In parallel to her projects, she plays in Love is a River by Alexandre Doublet, in D'après, directed by Adrien Barazzone and Barbara Schlittler, and in Boucle d'or 2020 directed by Alain Borek and Delphine Abrecht.

Adrien Knecht holds a master's degree in literature and has been trained as a teacher of literature. Active for 20 years in theatrical improvisation, he has developed various improvised shows regularly presented in theaters in French-speaking Switzerland (Casting, Push, Pur Bœuf...). He also works under the direction of directors such as Alexandre Doublet, Alain Borek, Pauline Castelli or Julien Barroche. Musician and singer, he leads several musical projects, most of which give an important place to the text and explore hybrid forms between theater and music (Fils Gillégitimes, Georges Encore). Bassist of the group Kind & Kinky Zoo, he participates in some big festivals (Paleo, Hook & Sling) and tours abroad (Italy, Germany, Japan...). In 2019, he stopped teaching in public schools to devote himself fully to his artistic practice. At the same time, he develops a method of teaching improvised theater that has met with growing success. He leads many workshops, alone or in collaboration (Tiphanie Bovay-Klameth, Laurent Baier, Odile Cantero...). Engaged in the associative environment, he is interested in developing bridges between the fields of culture, social and education. In 2020, he obtained a university certificate in popular education from the University of Lille.

Laurent Baier was born in Lausanne in 1979. Since then, he has been passionate about drama, storytelling and improvisation. His unconditional love for great stories, fables and metaphors encouraged him to become in turn a bookseller, a student in History and Religious Sciences, a hypnopratherapist and an actor. Since graduating from HETSR-La Manufacture in 2010, he has performed in more than 80 shows in the French-speaking world, ranging from contemporary theater to improvisation, from storytelling to social theater, and from corporate theater to performance art. In addition to his performing arts practice, he is also involved in writing, directing, television and teaching. In these various artistic disciplines, he has notably collaborated with Marielle Pinsard, Françoise Boillat, Alexandre Doublet, Robert Sandoz, Emmanuel Moser, Christian Geoffroy-Schlittler, Geoffrey Dyson, Christophe Saber and Vincent Veillon. But when he is not acting, he leads workshops in Oratory Art and transmits his passion for the performing arts during professional training courses. For Laurent, "acting in the world is a whole story".

This workshop is part of the project: And the climate in all that!
For 2 years, young people from 13 to 25 years old have been preparing a show about the climate emergency. They have attended conferences, they have thought about it, and they have things to say. They shoot video clips, write the script, and design costumes, props, and a sound environment. All this surrounded by professional artists. During this internship, these young people will share their passion with the interns in order to finalize the project with them and perform together the show born from their commitment.

For years, Isabelle Baudet has been sharing her passion for theater with children and teenagers. The workshops focus on visual and spoken theater. Concentration, body control, eyes, voice, stage space, group awareness, improvisation, collective creation, learning texts: here is the range of techniques proposed to allow each participant to find his or her own way of acting. These techniques are adapted to the age of the participants and to the dynamics of each group.
 

workshopS boucle d'or 2020

In echo with the show Boucle d'or 2021 directed by Alain Borek, the animator and theatrical mediator Laure Gallegos invites children to reinvent the famous tale through the creation of unusual playlets. This is an opportunity to tackle very topical themes such as hospitality or the relationship with others and to find, perhaps, a true end to the fable, as in the 2020 version.

Free, from 7 to 13 years old.

- Wednesday 2 June from 3 to 5 pm at Ferme des Tilleuls (rue de Lausanne 52, 1020 Renens), upon registration lfdt [at] fermedestilleuls [dot] ch
