Zen et Calligraphie

Sat, Oct 24, 7:15 AM
From Centre Zen Hakusan

L'horaire est le suivant : 9h15 - Ouverture du Dojo *-Merci de vous assurer d'arriver au Dojo avant 9h25-* 09:30 Zazen (25mins d’assise, 10mins de marche) 10:05 Teisho (Enseignement) et Mondo (Question-Réponse) 10:45 Pause Thé 11:00 Démonstration de Calligraphie 11:15 Initiation à la Calligraphie 12:00 Pot et Rangement Le coût des ustensils est de 10E pour les moins de 25 ans et 15E sinon. Merci de porter des vêtements amples ou extensibles pour être à l'aise car nous nous asseyons sur de petits coussins, les « Zafus ». Optez pour des vêtements de couleur sombre et évitiez les couleurs vives. Il est également recommandé de porter un Kimono noir ou un Samue (disponibles en ligne). Si vous avez votre propre coussin, merci de l'apporter. [Des Zafus noirs sont disponibles en ligne] > > > Si vous ne connaissez pas le Zen et le Zazen, > > > merci de nous rejoindre à 9h05 **Comment s'asseoir en Zazen ?** S'asseoir sur un Zafu, jambes croisées, demi-lotus ou lotus - avec les genoux touchant le sol. Pour dérouler verticalement le dos : * pousser les genoux vers le sol, * ajuster l'angle du bassin légèrement vers l'avant, * placer les oreilles au-dessus des épaules et étirer doucement la nuque, * pousser doucement le sommet du crâne vers le ciel. Le plan du visage est vertical, le nez se situe sur la même ligne verticale que le nombril. Une bonne position de la colonne vertébrale doit permettre une respiration profonde, c'est-à-dire la libre mobilité du ventre et de la cage thoracique. Les mâchoires sont détendues et la langue repose horizontalement dans la bouche, touchant les dents de devant supérieures. La bouche est fermée, l'air circule silencieusement par le nez. Les yeux sont mi-clos, le regard incliné à 45°. Le champ de vision dépasse 180°, les yeux ne saisissent rien mais accueillent l'image. Les épaules sont détendues, abaissées et légèrement en arrière. Les mains forment le mudra Hokkaijo-in. Le bord des mains touche le bas-ventre, deux doigts sous le nombril. La respiration est celle du bébé : le ventre se gonfle à l'inspiration et se dégonfle à l'expiration. Si des pensées surviennent, contentez-vous de les remarquer sans jugement. Asseyez-vous en Zazen en suivant toutes ces recommandations, puis oubliez-les toutes. Au plaisir de vous rencontrer, Sebastian Mokusen **Sites internet :** Site du Dōjō: https://centre-zen-hakusan.fr/ Cours en ligne sur 9 mois : [https://zenpourvous.com/](https://zenpourvous.com/) École japonaise : https://www.sotozen.eu/ Sangha européenne : https://www.zen-azi.org/fr Sangha de Guy Mokuhō Mercier : https://tenborin.org/ Livre, écrit par Sebastian Mokusen : [https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B0GP4SHJQN?ref](https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B0GP4SHJQN?ref) **Quelques livres supplémentaires :** Esprit zen, esprit neuf, S.

Advanced Improv Essentials! ✨A Four Week Course✨ (In English)

Advanced Improv Essentials! ✨A Four Week Course✨ (In English)

Sat, Oct 24, 9:00 AM
From Paris Improv Comedy Classes in English

**✨ Please complete this form to confirm your spot: [SIGN-UP FORM](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe4BjmwC4rs0yaOJt-251LX-DbPK4N8VosmTDp_3Usjqp5LZw/viewform?usp=header)✨** **Time:** 11h-14h (3 hours, with break) **Where:** Salles Saint Roch, 35 Rue Saint-Roch, 75001 Paris (salle Connan) **When:** Four Saturdays + Sunday-night show! * 24 October * 31 October * 7 November * 14 November * Show: 15 November at 21h30 @ Le Kibélé **Age:** 18+ **Cost:** 70e for the four weeks (12h + show)\*\* **What:** In a supportive, low-pressure environment, we’ll build upon some core principles of improv—listening and connecting, creating a shared reality, making strong choices— to learn our first longform: Monologue Deconstruction (it's more fun than it sounds!). Through games, exercises, scenes, and laughter, we'll work on walk-ons, tag-ins, pulling premises, actionable gifts, sustaining POV, support work, performance readiness, and more. You’ll build some confidence, stretch your creativity, and connect with others. Fun! Improv is a fun thing to do! ✨ **What to Expect:** * Fun (*told you!*), interactive exercises that warm up your body and brain * Simple ways to approach responding playfully to support yourself & your scene partner(s) * A focus on trust, teamwork, and naturally finding the funny together * Increased confidence in your ability to make strong, playable choices through supporting your scene partner(s) * The unexpected (a twist!) **Can I play?** It's open to anyone who has 1) done Improv Essentials! or 2) has taken an improv course/multiple (guided by a teacher, not jams) workshops. *Let’s do some make-em-ups!* 🎉 **Who is writing this?** Lexie and Thom! I'm Lexie, a writer and improviser who grew up all over because my dad was probably a spy. I moved to Paris from LA, where I trained and performed at the some biiig theaters. In my 20 years of improv, I've been on and coached a dozen different house teams. I currently co-produce and -host [Improv Fight Night Paris](https://www.instagram.com/improvfightnightparis/), a fiercely noncompetitive battle for laughs on the last Monday of every month. And I’m [Thom](http://linktr.ee/thomcote)! I’ve been an improviser for nearly 20 years, I've trained and played mainly at and around the [Magnet Theater in NYC](https://magnettheater.com/),. In Paris I occasionally perform with [Quincy & Alex](https://www.instagram.com/quincyandaleximprov/), [Improv Playground](https://www.instagram.com/tiptop_cool.impro/), and the [Imaginary Friends](https://www.instagram.com/imaginaryfriendsparis/). I work as a [mental health and creativity coach](https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomcote/) in addition to offering improv workshops, classes, and coaching/directing in and around Île de France. **\* A show?!** Shows can feel scary for some, and they are integral to the learning (and fun playing!) experience. There is a whole different energy and context than in a classroom with others in learning-mode, and we will absolutely *not* push you into the deep end without you knowing strong skills and perspectives to help you thrive on stage **\*\* What if I can’t afford that?** Please still reach out! We don’t want money to be the only reason that you are unable to play/take this opportunity. We can talk about sliding scale, skills-exchange, barter, etc. We’re all human beings with dignity, and there are ways we can and will make this work for everyone. Give yourself the gift of knowing that this is a YES.

COURS - Volumes : Raccourcis et Rentrées de Contours

COURS - Volumes : Raccourcis et Rentrées de Contours

Mon, Oct 26, 6:30 PM
From Paris Modèle Vivant
4.8

🔎Deuxième cycle de cette année, essentiel mais intimidant à aborder seul·e : les volumes! Qui nous aideront à comprendre le modelé, les directions, la profondeur et les ombres. Nous poursuivons notre compréhension de la profondeur avec un cours un peu plus théorique ciblé sur les raccourcis, puis sur son application plus ludique au travers des rentrées de contours. On se retrouve à 19h30, mais qui veut peut arriver au local à partir de 19h pour grignoter, discuter! Attention, le local a changé, il s'agit maintenant de la Générale, près de la mairie du 14ème. (28 rue Mouton Duvernet, [vidéoguide ici](https://videos.files.wordpress.com/IUjUfyJQ/generale01.mp4)) Paiement en espèces (25€), sur place, et il y aura un chapeau pour qui veut donner un peu plus au modèle! Le matériel n'est pas fourni. Hâte de vous y voir! 🙂
