ARTE incubateur

From September until the end of June, I was part of the ARTE Incubation residency in Paris. Five fantastic weeks, alongside eleven colleagues who were a joy to work with. Directors, actors, animators, screenwriters. The intention was to jointly develop artistic projects by bringing together a variety of skills and profiles. Mélody encouraged me to apply last summer. ‘No one understands anything on your CV, you might have a very good chance’ she said.

Until and if the fruits appear🤞, beyond the luck of having been selected for this programme - I have only one conclusion. Namely, that the prosperity of the Europe we live in is closely linked (also) to its creative force, and that the resources available to us on this continent are unmatched anywhere else in the world. 🇪🇺 Grateful.

And merci Marie Beuzard, Margot Terres and Aurélien Peilloux
