“iTALKs” the public speaking contest for UM students

The UM public speaking contest is iTALKs!

Twenty-nine of them will take to the stage to present the fruits of their labor in five-minute skits.

Who? UM students who participated in the iTALKs public speaking workshop, led by Anne-Sophie Leyre, actress and trainer with the Compagnie de l’Astrolabe, and Sarah Fourage, playwright and writer.

Theater classes and writing workshops prepared them to take the stage for this public speaking competition. They learned how to construct a narrative, project their voices, manage their body language, and above all, control their stress!
Each with their own style—poetic, passionate, or offbeat—they are now ready to share their stories, their questions, and their passions.

Three prizes will be awarded during the evening:

• the grand jury prize
• the jury's favorite
• the audience award.

A festive evening that proves that public speaking (often dreaded) can be a source of pleasure.
Refreshments will be served during the intermission, and the event will conclude with a moment of conviviality.

Registration deadline: Friday, March 28
