- The interpretation of dreams within self-knowledge - conference
Monday, March 15 2010

The mysterious language of dreams

Swiss psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung (1875 - 1961) was one of the founding fathers of psychoanalysis. While he began his research alongside Sigmund Freud, he soon broke away from Freud's methodology and his theory that the libido was the key to the interpretation of dreams. He nevertheless remained convinced of the importance of dreams in understanding the subconscious.
Jungian psychoanalyst Genevieve Chincholle Querat will enlighten you about "the little hidden door in the deepest sanctuary of the soul" and the role it plays in self-knowledge.

A strong team.

The club today boasts a total of 400 licensed players, in a variety of categories; some play league matches, and some only districts.

Once again the Rennes team will be changing coaches… Now under the experienced gaze of Frédéric Antonetti, known to be a serious, consistent coach, the team is hoping to make it to the top this season.

The Breton team will hopefully be able to manage 3rd place in this tournament, thereby qualifying for the League of Champions. The team has been working towards this goal for years now, and they might, with a bit of luck, pull it off this time.

Iggy and the stooges, Eiffel, and Guests at the Yakayalé Festival
Festival Yakayalé 2010
Friday, April 9 2010

The indefatigable Iggy…

Iggy Pop is one of those eternal rebels, a crazed and carefree rockstar who was labelled everything from the Antichrist to a sex-symbol by American society. As a teen, James Osterberg was little more than your typical trailer trash family member. He chanelled his anger and frustration into music and his raw, uncut power quickly became his musical trademark, the very reason fans connected with hom.

He founded the Stooges in 1967 and rode the wave of 60s psychedelic music, conquering all of America over the years. Now, 40 years later, they are still rock gods who can fill a stadium…

Coquecigrues Festival, Theatre and Lacework - Rennes
From Sunday, January 24 2010 to Sunday, March 28 2010

Scenic arts in scenic settings

You may be asking yourself, what is this mysterious "Coquecigrue"? It is a strange, mythical creature, a word coined by writer Rabelais - the word has come to mean illusion or fancy in common French. In Rennes, however, the Coquecigrue is something entirely different.

The festival organisers have have a knack for organising their events in the most original venues. Stories in and of themselves, (manors, historical buildings, parks, etc.), these sites just might arouse your curiosity regarding the city.

Like in other years, the programme is family-oriented; performances for adults are paralleled by special performances for children in adjacent settings (often with a little snack time afterwards).

Bernie Bonvoisin in concert
Tuesday, April 6 2010

Going it alone.

The year 2010 marks the return of Bernie Bonvoisin as a solo artist with the release of a new album "Democrature ou dictacratie" ("Democraship or dictatorcy") in February 2010.

Trust, Antisocial, Les Démons de Jésus, Blanche, Sirop d’la rue… Bernie is at once actor, director, author and singer. This multi-faceted artist is a real success machine. His secret? Most probably his humanity.

Today Bernie continues to spread his messages through his songs while at the same time launching into a new adventure: a solo album. While his social and political preoccupations, as ever, play a large role in Bernie's lyrics, certain songs reveal a poetic and dreamlike side to him. This former rebellious spirit performs on stage, accompanied by his new group, with a newfound sensitivity in "Democrature ou dictacratie"… you can be sure this isn't the last you'll hear of it!

Organised as part of World Water Day, a UNESCO event, the French Swimming Federation will be organising La Nuit de l'Eau or "Water Night" on March 20th, 2010.

This is a charity-oriented operation dedicated to raising awareness: teaching future generations to respect water as a finite resource. This is achieved through a programme of activities and events, educational workshops, awareness workshops and more…

Profits are to be donated to children of the third world with regards to their access to clean, running water. Last year's event provided the funds to built and maintain 9 Togolese schools with access to running water (thanks to a drinkable water source and a rain-catching cistern) and helped promote awareness programmes in these schools (hygiene, health, water purification, etc.). The sponsor for this major event, Alain Bernard, is a professional swimmer with more than a few prizes under his belt…

Admire the work of Timurtas Onan and a selection of art students from Brittany and Turkey, and lose yourself in a labyrinth of photo-art. Some might say that photography is not art, but replicated reality; yet it is the eye and mind behind that transforms a banal piece of paper into artwork.

La Nuit de l'eau 2010
Saturday, March 20 2010

Get ready to dive!

Organised as part of World Water Day, a UNESCO event, the French Swimming Federation will be organising La Nuit de l'Eau or "Water Night" on March 20th, 2010.

This is a charity-oriented operation dedicated to raising awareness: teaching future generations to respect water as a finite resource. This is achieved through a programme of activities and events, educational workshops, awareness workshops and more…

Profits are to be donated to children of the third world with regards to their access to clean, running water. Last year's event provided the funds to built and maintain 9 Togolese schools with access to running water (thanks to a drinkable water source and a rain-catching cistern) and helped promote awareness programmes in these schools (hygiene, health, water purification, etc.). The sponsor for this major event, Alain Bernard, is a professional swimmer with more than a few prizes under his belt…

The key is crowded.

Basketball is one of the most popular team sports in the world, thanks to its simple rules and inherently spectacular nature. It was invented by American P.E. (sports) teacher James Naismith, designed as a fun and exciting physical activity that his pupils could play in winter.

Each team is made up of five players who must score maximum points by throwing a ball into a hoop fixed high up.

The American professional championship, better known as the NBA is the most prestigious male league in the world, attracting the best players in the world.

- Serge Poliakoff (1900 - 1969) - exhibition
From Saturday, January 30 2010 to Sunday, May 30 2010

Colour conquers all.

A major figure within lyric abstract art, Serge Poliakoff was born in Moscow in 1900. After moving to Paris in 1923, he exhibited his work at the Salon des Indépendants in 1938.

His first large exhibition took place in 1953 at the Palace of Fine Arts in Brussels: 45 paintings and 5 gouaches went on display.

In 1962 the artist obtained French citizenship. He died in 1969 in Paris.

The Museum of Fine Arts in Pont-Avon offers visitors the opportunity to discover this artist's work through the 70 paintings and gouaches on display. Follow the stylistic development of this great painter for whom colour was perhaps the most fundamental element of artistic creation.

CFA, saison 2009-2010

Heading to the elite?

The CFA Championship (amateur league) gives players throughout the country a major opportunity: a potential entry ticket into the world of pro football.

This rarely used back-door to the Nationals is for many the only light at the end of the tunnel. Doubtless they are inspired by players like Franck Ribéry who made a name in the CFA circle in 2001 and who five year later walked in the footsteps of the world's elite.

Yet this is also an opportunity for clubs' reserve teams to take to the field and show their worth. Among the favourites are the B teams of PSG, OM and OL, but also the Bordeaux club's reserves which is a veritable pro-player-factory.
