Writing the Speech of Children with Hinde Kaddour

Facilitated by Hinde Kaddour, this writing workshop explores the voices of children using anonymized audio recordings. Participants listen attentively and produce short written forms — fragments, bursts, and altered transcriptions — that preserve the uniqueness of child speech without smoothing it, letting voice shape language. Through close listening and short exercises, the session examines ethical considerations, stylistic strategies and techniques for keeping oral rhythm and texture in writing.

Jonas Van leads a workshop that rethinks dramaturgy as a spectral presence, drawing on K. Wycisk’s idea of dramaturgy as a ghost and W. Imarisha’s practice of visionary fiction. Through collective tarot readings and sensory methods, the workshop investigates dramaturgy as a metabolic process where time, memory and the body become creative oracles. Participants are invited to shift thought from the brain toward the gut and to consider the dramaturge as a ghostly agent activating and nourishing persistent elements of artistic creation.
