“ Nature Ducks Culture ” is a newcomer to the associative landscape of the commune of Plouha (Côtes-d’Armor). This association a lancée par three girlfriends wishing to offer activities around artistic practices and nature. Invitations to discovery off the beaten track.
“We want to do things with joy and share them to create a bond,” summarize the creators of the Nature Canards Culture association, a funny little name which has all its meaning (read box). The association will not offer courses all year round but occasional moments of discovery off the beaten track.
Chant, danse et théâtre thus make up the eight meetings scheduled until next July. In the form of courses and workshops, they are led by speakers from outside the municipality.
The association in 3 words
🔹Nature? because they love “Plouha and its breathtaking cliffs and its little corners of lush forest”. And because they want as much as possible for their proposals to come to life in the open air, “in the local natural heritage”.
🔹Culture? “that of the earth and spirits”, because the association’s program develops mainly around artistic practices: workshops, shows, discussion times “to think together about our relationship with ourselves and with the living”.
🔹Ducks? “It’s our joker because we don’t want to lock ourselves in, if one day we want to organize something that is not linked to culture or nature…”
Common desires
Claire Chauvet, farmer-herbalist, Pauline Thomas, nature facilitator and Pauline Aubert, multidisciplinary artist have united their desires and skills to organize local activity that they like to practice or want to discover.
To build the first program, we put our network to work. We contacted people we know and with whom we liked doing things. These meetings will lead to others and we will also listen to suggestions from participants.
In March, the first African dance workshop, with Limaniya Cie Akli from Plédran, was sold out. Same thing for the experimental dance one, proposed by Pauline Aubert of the Briochine company Maddie Aubépine. HAS” These artistic encounters are a way of traveling, of discovering things that we don’t really know about. »
“The important thing is to do it together”
Because they themselves have traveled miles for a long time to follow a course or workshop, the three young women created their association with the aim of offering, in their turn, original discoveries.
We want to create a local life by sharing activities with the people we meet every day, wanting to create connections without forcing ourselves. The idea is to come together around an artistic practice or something else without being obliged to introduce yourself or give your CV. The important thing is to do it together.
Soon, a stage d’improvisation théâtraleof the contemporary dance, a sound journey open to meditation or a discovery of improvisational singing.
Practice in nature
The latter will take place outdoors in Lanloup because practice outsidein the landscape, is also a strong desire of Nature Canards Culture.
Our proposals will be outdoors as much as possible, depending on the weather, to take advantage of the local natural heritage, draw inspiration and rethink our relationship with nature.
Nature Canards Culture also intends to regularly offer spectacles alongside the scheduled courses. This will be the case on July 10 with the Alone on Stage “N’Étre†by the clown Ruthy Scetbon, who will then host a clown course on July 11 and 12. This will be the case again in the fall with a show and a contemporary dance workshop led by the Ambitus collective from Plaintel.

“Creating a world we like”
Between nature et culturethe activities of the association will be varied, promise the three friends.
“They will be aimed sometimes at a beginner audience, for the pleasure of discovery…” sometimes at an informed audience, “…eager to improve in a specific practice…”.
If the first meetings are linked to culture via artistic practices, Nature Canards Culture, “ protean tool to create a fashion that pleases us”, does not prohibit itself in future projects to also organize conferences and “ activities more precisely focused on ecological transitionin the form of workshops or time for reflection…
