song workshop: writing time with joséphine

With:
Joséphine

Date :
12th october 2025

A writing workshop on the theme of time. What is time? A chewing gum-like substance that stretches and contracts, infused with our sensitivity and often beyond our control, despite our Google calendars and smartwatches. I invite you to reconnect with time by kneading it with written and spoken words, through various exercises for our pens and our tongues. Repetitive time, long time, time travel and the time of things – let’s explore creatively in small groups with our pens, our computers and our voices. Musicians are welcome to bring their instruments.

The day will be divided into two parts: from 10:00 to 17:00, there will be five writing exercises on the theme of time, with a lunch break. From 18:30 to 20:30, there will be an open stage where participants can share the text they created that day, either alone or in a group, accompanied by music or silence. Joséphine will also offer sound creations made from sound material recorded on the day to accompany your texts. The open stage will be accessible to people who have not participated in the workshop, and you can also share poems, songs, sketches, or anything else you would like to express through voice or instrument.

Joséphine Hurtut chante dans une ambiance tamisée

joséphine

Joséphine is a multifaceted artist working in pop music and digital arts. In her latest EP, Polarités (2025), she poetically harmonises her inner contradictions through electro-pop inspired by Billie Eilish, Oklou and Emilie Simon. A singer-songwriter, she has performed at iconic venues such as the Centre Georges Pompidou and the Paris Olympic Games fan zone, as well as abroad (Cambodia, Canada, Mexico, etc.). She co-created an immersive show for young audiences (‘Manitou’, presented in Montreal in 360° in a storytelling + music + video mapping format), and is involved in numerous collective projects: the Lapin Agile troupe in Montmartre, the Chakras Lycras dance performance, and more. Sharing her knowledge is also an integral part of her artistic practice. Trained in Nonviolent Communication, she leads workshops and cultural mediation projects (SACEM, Zebrock association), conducts a choir at the Maison Populaire in Montreuil, and coaches artists and individuals in vocal and stage work. As a representative of the International Music Council, she has been trained in the issues of inclusion and intersectionality in music, and works to pass on this knowledge in her projects and workshops.
