Looking for a residency close to nature – Writing

Je travaille comme dramaturge, compositeur, professeur et interprète en Irlande. Le rythme de ma vie quotidienne est très rapide et ne répond pas toujours à de longues périodes de créativité. J’aimerais passer du temps dans un endroit où je peux devenir à la fois concentré et détendu et peut faciliter la créativité.

I work as a playwright, composer, teacher and performer in Ireland. The pace of my daily life is very fast and doesn’t always accomodate long periods of creativity. I would love to spend some time in a place where I can become both focused and relaxed and can facilitate creativity.

Propositions artistiques en échange de la résidence (oeuvres, cours, ateliers, dîner, concert...) : Selon que je travaille sur la musique ou sur l'écriture créative, je peux offrir une pièce d'écriture originale manuscrite que j'ai créée pendant le séjour, je peux vous proposer d'enseigner et de montrer comment j'écris, je peux faire un concert privé et moi-même Peut laisser des paroles originales écrites à la main dans la maison. Depending on whether I will be working on music or on creative writing, I can offer an original hand written piece of writing that I created during the stay, I can offer to teach and show how I write, I can do a private concert and I can leave original hand written lyrics in the house.
Description environment are you looking for ( nature, urban, other…) : De préférence, un environnement apaisant qui est proche de la nature car je suis presque toujours dans une ville ou une grande ville. Preferably a calming environment that's close with nature as I am nearly always in a city or a large town.
Describe your projects for a residence : Les projets sur lesquels je travaillerai pendant une résidence sont des pièces nouvelles que j'ai commencé à écrire, des nouvelles chansons, un roman que j'écris depuis plusieurs années et des compositions musicales contemporaines. The projects that I will be working on during a residency are some new plays that I have begun writing, some new songs, a novel that I have been writing for a number of years and some contemporary music compositions.
Description of the type of workspace needed (office, studio, rehearsal space…) : Il peut s'agir d'un espace simple avec un grand bureau et plein de soleil dans la pièce. Si elle a des instruments, c'est génial et si ce n'est pas bien. It can be a simple space with a large desk and with plenty of sunlight in the room. If it has instruments, that's great and if not that's fine.

    I have been working on writing a novel for several months. It will be a book combining passages written in prose and illustrated passages, with parts of the narrative carried by drawings over several pages. So far, I have mainly done research in many directions. I am now looking, including in February and March, for a place where I can write the first draft of this story about a seaside village in good conditions.

    I am Siméon MB, I am a poet and I am looking for a writing space to begin a first collection of poetry, “Chant à quatre voix (provisional title)”. I'm looking for a calm place where I can start structuring things, putting my texts together, and putting them into shape. A place that I could live in for a while, around which I can get some fresh air at times. And perhaps also have an outside perspective. In exchange for the residency, I offer a collection of poems in the form of a fanzine, a reading or a sound piece.
