Writing workshop - “From Your Own Roots”

This writing workshop is led by playwright, actor, and director Florient Jousse. Drawing from anecdotes or real people, we will endeavor to write our own family mythologies, taking time to celebrate where we come from. Suitable for ages 9 and up.

Florient is an actor, playwright and director, now based on Réunion Island.  He created La Compagnie Tilawcis in 2020 and is now on his second U.S. tour with the company. He has immersed himself in researching everything about Réunion Island, including the history, cultures, spiritualities and language and from there has been able to interpret this research into organic writing and theatrical productions. 

Cost for this workshop is $60, $55 for AFMSP members. Children under 18 can attend for $25 with a paid adult. Please contact Valerie at culture@afmsp.org if you would like to register a child.
