MASTER YOUR MATERIAL

Comedian Vittorio Angelone will lead a series of workshops for all levels of skill and experience in an actual château because things are going well for him actually. With beautiful spaces to write, interactive workshops and a field trip to a Parisian comedy club on the schedule, you’ll work through performance, stagecraft, joke-writing, show structure, social media strategy (yuck) and scripted comedy. There'll also be time for collaboration and participant-led sessions on whatever you find most valuable/FUN.

All bedrooms have a desk and there are other peaceful spaces to work in – the salon, the barn, the gardens, the studio.

YOGA

The magnicent old barn makes a perfect space for pre-breakfast optional yoga classes, run for all levels by Sacy regular Megane Thiboust. These will limber you up, clear your mind and prepare you for the focus of the day ahead. 


FOOD & DRINK

  • Meals are Ottolenghi-inspired, largely vegetarian, nutricious, locally or garden sourced where possible and much enjoyed by our guests. We're happy to cater for various diets.

  • Each participant will pair up with another to prepare one dinner, with ingredients and recipe supplied and help at hand.

  • Coffee, tea, fruit and pastries will be available throughout the day in a separate communal kitchen.

OUTING

After lunch on Thursday, we will go to Paris, a short train ride away. You'll spend the afternoon exploring before we meet up for an English open mic evening, where you can try out your material in public. After dinner, we'll catch the last train home.
