Enough to breathe a little more life and light into the old walls of the school campus.
Beyond the programming itself, this dynamic also reflects, since last year, the desire of a historic establishment in Sartène to open its doors more to cultureby offering shows and increasing exchanges between the school, artists and the region.
The return of the Cours du 7 for a third performance in Sartène
The Parisian company Les Cours du 7 will perform for the third time in Sartène. Having already presented The first name Then The Miserthe actors return to the Clemenceau high school for the Ascension weekend.
Two representations of Molière’s famous comedy, The Miserwere offered to the public on Friday 15 and will be again this Saturday, May 16 at 8:30 p.m.
The shows take place in the establishment’s boardroom, transformed for the occasion into an intimate performance hall with around 70 seats. A specific agreement with the Corsican Community (owner of the premises) allows the organization of these performances outside school hours.
“Every time, it’s complete “, underlines the principal since September 2021, Alexandre Sidin-Benedetti. Open to students, families and residents of the micro-region, these evenings help to gradually enrich the cultural offerings at the school campus, with the ambition of bringing theater, music and the performing arts more into the daily lives of students. students and the territory.
An artistic residency around dance and equality
Another highlight of this cultural spring: the arrival of Manon Chaurand, artist and choreographer hosted in residence from May 18 to 22.
Discovered by the principal during the Avignon Off Festival, the young artist will come to continue the work on her show Parfaita creation that questions notions of perfection and social injunctions, particularly around gender equality and the fight against discrimination.
During this week, Manon Chaurand will lead eight hours of workshops with 4th A students. Two body expression workshops will also be offered to students and volunteer staff, on Tuesday May 19 and Thursday May 21 from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.
The artist will also work on his show in different spaces of the establishment, both indoors and outdoors. “The idea is really to allow the presence of an artist in full creation within the establishment, in contact with young people. The exchanges can nourish one’s work, while the students concretely discover the process of artistic creation“, explains Alexandre Sidin-Benedetti.
On Friday, May 22, a public presentation of the work carried out will take place from 10:05 a.m. to 11 a.m., followed by a time of discussion until 11:55 a.m.
CHAV students on stage at the beginning of June
The artistic dynamic also continues at the CHAV (scheduled voice class), open at the start of the 2024 school year in partnership with the Sartène Polyphonic Art Center and the Corsica Henri Tomasi Conservatory.
This system allows middle school students to benefit from enhanced vocal teaching with, in particular, Brice Lebert, Joseph Pezet (trumpeter trained at the Toulon conservatory) as well as music education professor Julien Petit.
CHAV students will perform at their end-of-year gala on Wednesday, June 3 at 6 p.m. in the auditorium of the Sartène Polyphonic Art Center.
They will also open the master class of the current singing development center with the group I Messageri on Friday May 29 at 8:30 p.m. at the CAP auditorium, then on Tuesday June 2 at 8:45 p.m. on the port of Propriano on the occasion of Saint Erasmus.
A renewed pedagogical magasin
Finally, the professional section of the establishment will reopen, on Tuesday May 26, its completely refurbished educational store, offering for sale products from local producers as well as driftwood objects.
Intended for CAP EPC (multi-purpose sales team) students, this space serves as concrete support for learning sales professions. The furniture and layout have been completely redesigned in order to offer a more modern and functional tool.
The store will be accessible to students and staff during certain break times, with the aim of occasionally opening to the public in the future.
Through these different initiatives, the Clemenceau school campus intends to strengthen access to culture in a semi-rural territory, where artistic offerings exist but sometimes remain less accessible on a daily basis for young people.
