Where is the tonic accent placed? What should I do with silent e's? Should "r "s be rolled or not? Poetic writing gives form to the art of lyricism. And understanding it is crucial to defending the French repertoire and its subtleties. By providing tools for understanding texts, the lyric diction course gives singers a better grasp of the delicacy of their language, so that they can deliver an interpretation informed by meaning. Through lectures, readings, discussions, practical exercises and the writing of sonnets and vaudevilles, the performers tackle a wide range of questions of a grammatical, prosodic, poetic, phonetic and historical nature.

The Partnering workshop is offered as a co-teaching activity.

It creates a space for experimentation around the relationship and articulation with the 'other' as partner. The work is informed by references to contemporary choreographic and performance pieces.

Through exploration of the instrument's repertoire, historical perspective and in-depth technical work, this course aims to develop mastery of the instrument and a critical approach to interpretation. Particular attention is paid to listening to one's body, in order to prevent the aches and pains associated with playing the instrument. The face-to-face teaching approach allows for personalised learning, helping each student to reach his or her full potential.
