The art of passing onhaving fun

The art of transmitting while having fun

Every child develops through play, and there’s no doubt that the same applies to adults. In fact, it seems that a number of essential skills are learned through play. As far as teaching is concerned, this technique can even be traced back to antiquity with Plato and other philosophers. At Destination Granville Terre et Mer, it’s an adage that can easily be traced back to the traditions of the Granville Carnival: we share history, we pass on a skill or an art, we help people discover our heritage, but we do it while having fun!

LES ENJAMBÉES

July 2024

The Olympic and Paralympic Games will take place in the summer of 2024. The City of Granville and the Granville Terre et Mer Community of Communes have been awarded the Terre de Jeux 2024 label. The Olympic Flame will pass through Granville on 31 May 2024.

To celebrate this event, the company Tourner la Page and the multidisciplinary arts venue Le Leurre are organising LES ENJAMBÉES in July. The concept is to celebrate culture and sport ahead of the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games on Friday 26 July, with 2 events:

Friday 12th July

Les Détours Sportifs by 5 Granville artists.

5 multi-disciplinary artists, each representing one of the 5 rings of the Games, take over an emblematic sports venue in Granville to offer an unusual tour.

Changing rooms, playgrounds, ticket offices, refreshment areas, grandstands… all pretexts for an unusual, poetic and sporting encounter with the public. On the programme: poetic coaching, musical triathlon, physical culture, dressing-room confidences, the art of losing and dignity in the fall!

An artistic itinerary lasting around forty minutes in total, with “minute performances”, will be custom-designed, written and performed by the 5 artists: Chloé Lacan, Nicolas Cloche, Victor Duclos, Damien Dutrait and Fabrice Hervé. The show will be performed 3 times in a row for an audience of between 20 and 40 people.

Friday 19th July

Les Enjambées

An invitation to dance through the town of Granville, from Val-es-Fleur to the Quartier Saint Nicolas, via the Upper Town and the seafront.

In the afternoon, a series of four ball-minutes are staged in Granville. One time / One place / One dance in 30 minutes. Four invitations to dance acoustically in the public space. Each ball-minute like a new point of view on the city.

In the evening, to round things off in style, there’ll be a big picnic on a table and Le Grand Bal under the stars, where the dancing will continue in the open air with all the musicians and dance leaders. Interludes will allow the public to watch contemporary dance, poetry and theatre in the colours of dance and sport by professionals.

Alongside these highlights, workshops and a conference will be offered to the public and event volunteers (between 26 June and 17 July):

    • Ballroom Dances – From Traditional to Contemporary” workshops to introduce you to the dances to be performed at the Grand Bal sous les étoiles. It’s a great way to build bridges between the past and the present. Workshops open to all: “If you can walk, you can dance! “
    • A “Bodies Together” conference led by Sophie Rousseau, musician, dancer and teacher. It’s like taking a stroll through the dances of yesteryear and today, with stories and images, to grasp the relationship between dance and music (the rhythm of steps, instruments and voice) and learn a little more about the vital link that is rhythm.
As the artists co-producing the ENJAMBÉES say in unison:
“Get your legs ready, get dancing, take on the city!”

The Game #4

New version on 28 September 2024

After the first editions in the Haute Ville of Granville, at the Abbaye de La Lucerne and on the various sites of Carolles, The Game returns in 2024 to the Château de Chanteloup with a new version offering an even more immersive adventure for 350 costumed players, this time in medieval times, and incorporating a multimedia dimension.

The event is still a work in progress, but the pre-programme is taking shape: registrations close in June to receive short video enigmas featuring characters to be found on the big day. The characters will be spreading clues throughout the summer, and of course will also be performing live sketches on site.

The closing drink on the afternoon of 28 September will take place in the courtyard of the château, a delight for fans of cult scenes from films, serials and comic strips.Not everything can be revealed, of course, when there’s a plot and a quest to pursue!
