Creative writing - Poetry in English - Learn how to write beautiful poetry

Àpd 54 € /h

In the modern world, the significance of poetry is overlooked. From Aristotle to Derrida (the range is not comprehensive), literary theory has maintained that a poem's power is measured in its affect. Throughout this course, our goal will not be to make inscrutable poetic analysis - though the first part of the lesson will be spent analysing word choice, meter, line length and spaces of an English poem written between pre-modernism and postmodernism. Rather, through our perusal of poetic form we will be able to ground our work, somewhat modestly, in the English poetic tradition.

Before the first class you will send me some of your own work so I know how to build or refine aesthetic temperament. I have been writing poetry for ten years and two years ago I published a chapbook at a press with competitive standards, and I am currently working on a full-length collection. If you wish to take up poetry seriously, time is needed and an eye for detail is essential.

I look forward to us broadening our aesthetic sensibilities together.

Présentation
I believe that when we are teaching about language or the language arts it is important for the teacher to learn as much as possible from the student. Of course, the teacher comes armed with knowledge that is institutional at its core, a knowledge that is at once also necessary. Think of the notion of experience. In poetry for example that comes with reading and writing, either in an academic or recreational context.What I look for in the student learning English or poetry is a desire to acquire the intuitive capacities that the teacher brings with her, as well as the student's own individuality which the teacher also learns from.
Education
Columbia University

J'ai eu un grave accident il y a vingt ans et depuis l'art est devenu ma principale motivation. Au début, j'inventait des histoire que j'écrivais illustré par des dessins. Après je me suis lancé dans l'écriture d'un roman qui n'a abouti à rien, mais au moins j'ai pris du plaisir à l'écrire et lors de mes 14-15 ans, à l'hôpital pour passer le temps, je me suis mis à écrire des chansons. Après ça, j'ai commencé d'écrire pour des groupe et depuis là, je ne peux plus me passer d'écrire ce qui me passe par la tête sous forme de poème. Que ça soit des peintures, des articles, des paysages, des situations et j'en passe, tout me donne l'inspiration. Après j'ai suivi des cours de peinture à l'académie Demeuron et de graphisme à côté, dans un atelier protégé, ce qui me permettait d'illustrer mes poèmes. Suivant cette période, j'ai suivi un apprentissage de sellerie ou j'ai fait des sacs à main, dans une ferme entouré par une nature qui m'est chère pour la création.
A présent, j'ai un atelier où je fais toutes sortes de choses, mais la poésie reste ma priorité.

Ce cours est dédié à ceux qui ont des choses à dire et que la poésie peut aider. Elle pourra aussi aider au langage et à la bonne articulation, car ce n'est pas tout de la lire et de l'écrire, il faut aussi savoir la réciter. Quant à son histoire, il est aussi très intéressant de s'y plonger: L'inspiration peut être apportée par toutes sortes de choses, que ça soit par la peinture, par un article, par un conte, etc. Elle peut être sans limite. A propos de la recherche, RERO, bibliothèque en ligne, peut être un bon outil.

Tu as des milliers de "débuts de texte" qui dorment dans un tiroir ? Tu as mille idées dans ta tête mais au moment d'écrire tu peines à trouver la bonne tournure, la punchline, la phrase qui claque ?

Je te rassure, c'est tout à fait normal. Avoir des difficultés pour écrire un texte ne signifie pas que tu n'as pas de talent, mais que tu as un blocage.

C'est psychologique. Et surtout, ça arrive au meilleur.
(Regarde le docu sur Orelsan)

Voilà pourquoi je te propose mes services.

Je ne vais pas t’apprendre à écrire. Tu sais déjà le faire.
Nous n’avons pas passé des heures à faire des “exercices” d’écriture.
Ce n’est pas un cours de français.

Non.

Nous allons partir de ce que tu as (ou de ce que tu es) pour te permettre d’écrire les meilleurs textes possibles. Je te proposerai une méthode pour éviter la page blanche, tirer le maximum de tes idées et surtout de permettre d’être autonome dans ton processus d'écriture.

Intéressé ? Envois moi un message ou réserve ton cours dès maintenant.

Whether you want to develop your poetic sense or improve your language efficiency, whether you are looking to give more life to your oral interventions or to become more concise, I will make you work on your writing and your presence on stage to develop the oratorical style that suits you and allow you to express yourself as you would like.
Depending on your goals (conference, wedding speech, professional presentation, exams or more generally to finally express what you want to express), I bring you my expertise over a few sessions or over the long term. Depending on your profile, we will focus on voice or writing, preparation or improvisation, listening or peroration. As in any discipline, there will be training exercises, techniques to assimilate and automatisms to acquire. We will see together how to overcome the fear of the blank page, we will rework your texts, we will put them in our mouths so that you become aware of your ability to say beautiful, strong and striking things, in accordance with who you are, without trying to take yourself for someone else.

Are you struggling to feel creative? Do you feel like you've always wanted to try writing but don't know where to start? Do you want to find a way to express yourself and the world around?
Come and join me and together we can find your voice, get the ball rolling and give you the little starter tips that will help you to unlock your greatest power - your voice.

I'm Ché, an actor/writer and director from Manchester. Living in London. When I was 15 a lot of stuff was happening in my life, I felt powerless, like talking about it would be a burden. I also struggled to say what I was thinking and sometimes my mouth couldn't keep up with my brain. So I bought myself some pens and some notebooks and I began to keep a 'diary', these little notebooks I would scribble down in were anything but 'diaries' though. I soon found that channelling my energy into poetry and storytelling, helped me not only put into perspective the things in my life I was struggling with, but I also found my voice, my vocation and what I now do for a career. Whether you have professional ambitions to be a writer/storyteller/poet or just feel stuck in a rut and would love to let off some steam by writing a few quirky limericks, sign up to my class and we can find your voice and GET YOUR WORDS OUT.
