EAC Practice Workshops

Since 2021, the Festival d'Avignon organizes workshops to discover technical jobs. Almost 600 participants from 15 schools and 5 specialised establishments took part in the 3 workshops: making a montage from a scenography, experimenting with the job of lighting manager thanks to a 1/10th scale reproduction of a theatre stage, and discovering video. A new key to becoming an informed spectator!

Since 2017, the Festival d’Avignon has organised reading workshops in schools all over the region (elementary schools, colleges, and secondary schools), in partnership with the École régionale d’acteurs de Cannes et Marseille. Student-actors in residence at the FabricA share their love for the practice of theatre, using public reading as a starting point. The goal is to create a sensitive, fun, and personal approach to literature and theatre, and to develop oral skills and teach the students how to handle their emotions. Over 1,350 students have already enjoyed this programme.

In 2021, the health crisis has forced us to adapt certain projects. The Voix Haute project was born from the reinvention of "read-aloud" workshops. The participants are at La FabricA or on Instagram simultaneously on one side and on the other of the screens to practice together the setting in voice accompanied by professionals of the theatre and the animation. It is a hybrid meeting to raise awareness of theatre, foundational texts and reading in an extracurricular time.
