"iTALKs" the UM student eloquence contest

The UM's eloquence contest is iTALKs!

29 of them will take to the stage to present the fruits of their labor in 5-minute sketches.

Who? UM students who took part in iTALKs public speaking workshop, under the guidance of Anne-Sophie Leyre, actor-trainer with Compagnie de l'Astrolabe, and Sarah Fourage, playwright and writer.

Drama courses and writing workshops prepared them to take to the stage for this eloquence contest. They learned how to construct a narrative, set their voice, manage their body language and, above all, manage their stress!
Each with his or her own style: poetic, committed or offbeat, they are ready to interpret their journey, their questions or their passions.

At the end of the evening, 3 prizes will be awarded:

• the jury's grand prize
• the jury's favorite
• the Audience Award.

A festive evening proving that (dreaded) public speaking can be a source of pleasure.
A snack will be served at the interval, and a moment of conviviality will bring the event to a close.

Registration deadline: Friday, March 28
