Creative Commune Method
An artistic approach to debate and share this debate
The debate of ideas sometimes suffers from a certain weariness among audiences of active citizens. He tends to let only the most “comfortable” people express themselves in public, often with speeches pre-designed (“I debate to let know my point of view and try to convince others). The debate space does not always encourage collective intelligence or even creativity.
The methodology Creative Commune show offers tools that can help bring together the different capacities of a group, its “energies”, to lead a collective process allowing them to collaborate and create together.
The artistic dimension also allows an alternative approach to the traditional debate of ideas leading to citizen “proposals”. Everyone is invited to step out of their comfort zone and free themselves from the desire to defend a posture.
In the method Municipality Creative, participants are invited to create through two types of proposals:
- The “gesticulated conference”
- An online campaign
The “gesticulated conference”
Participants are invited to co-create a “conference gesticulated” whose creative dimension results from everyone’s contribution. The artistic form on stage also encourages a variety of means of conference (theatre, visual, sound, etc.). It also encourages surprise, humour, difference, and imagination.
Definition
The Gesticulated Conference is a form of one-woman show that combines theatre and conference. It is characterized by the association of experiences lived by the speaker (“hot” knowledge) and theoretical, academic knowledge (“cold” knowledge), often with humour.

Online campaign
Online, the participants will be invited to combine different channels and different modes of expression: website, social networks/texts, photos, videos, illustrations, podcasts… This mode of production content has the advantage of associating remote contributors, and then addressing a wider audience than “live” representation.
