Tuesday, July 8 | 11:30 am - 12:30 pm - Workshop: AI & Liquid Writing, from concept to moving image generated in real time

Through a creative live performance, participants will discover a “liquid” writing method where dramaturgy, image and artificial intelligence intertwine.

Scene generation, gestures, voices, images: everything coexists and is rewritten in real time with the audience’s active participation.

Format: Live demonstration with audience participation (suggestions, ideas) – no equipment required for participants.

With Ismaël Joffroy Chandoutis, artist and director.

Tuesday, July 8 | 10:00-11:00 am - Workshop: Podcast on stage, when sound dramaturgy comes to life

This workshop explores the approaches of radio authors who present works initially created for the podcast format and then presented in theaters, through the adaptation of a text, the translation of a universe or the reinterpretation of a work.

There are numerous examples in Quebec and French-speaking Canada, where many theater companies are working with authors from radio and podcasting, and institutional theaters are presenting the work of podcast creators in their programming.

With Julien Morissette, co-founder and artistic director, Transistor Media.

Tuesday, July 8 | 11:00-12:00 am - Workshop: Creating in the digital age: exploring links with research
