Travel

I like arriving somewhere without knowing it all: another language, other food, other landscapes. From capitals to islands, all the way to the Bardenas desert.

Improv theatre

Surprise and listening. I’ve played since high school, in improv matches against other teams: a theme announced at the last moment, a few seconds to huddle, then a scene built live. Nothing is scripted, and everything rests on listening to the others.

  • Since high school
  • Improv matches
  • Catamarant troupe
  • Viens on joue troupe

Badminton

Playing, then passing it on. I still play a little. From 15 to 17, I helped coach the youngest players at the Arès club: explaining a stroke, adapting drills, keeping a group of kids motivated.

  • Youth coaching, aged 15 to 17
