Le 13 juillet, le concert Scoop Music Tour fait son retour à Feurs

Charlie Winston, Willy William, Eva Queen, Dorely, Soolking, Alliel, Tayc, Yanns, Lucenzo, Marghe, Mentissa, Céphaz, Lujipeka, La Petite Culotte et Léna Maire. Voici le plateau du concert, de retour après deux éditions annulées.

Déjà dix ans que le Scoop Music Tour se tient à Feurs. Cette année, l’événement musical inscrit dans l’ADN de la ville aura lieu, comme à son habitude, le 13 juillet à l’hippodrome. Dès 19  heures, venez écouter les artistes qui rythmeront la soirée jusqu’à minuit. Pour accéder au site, deux possibilités : l’entrée gratuite ou les speed pass, disponibles dans les boutiques de Feurs et l’office de tourisme, qui vous permettront de passer plus vite.

En 2020 et 2021, les éditions du Scoop Music Tour de Feurs n’ont pu avoir lieu en raison de la crise sanitaire. Une situation qui a eu des répercussions. «  Cela a cassé une dynamique , reconnaît Hervé Maître, directeur de cabinet du maire. Il nous a fallu plus d’énergie pour relancer l’organisation de ce concert. » Ces annulations n’ont en tous cas pas impacté l’intérêt du public, qui attend cette soirée avec impatience.

Par le passé, l’ouverture des portes signalait le début de la course pour se placer au plus près de la scène. Un endroit stratégique qui amène même certains spectateurs à patienter, devant les portiques, dès la veille : « A Feurs, la première édition avait réuni 7  000 personnes et en 2017, nous avons atteint une fréquentation record avec 42  000  spectateurs. »

« C’est le plus grand concert gratuit de l’été en Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, nous accueillons plus de 25 000 personnes en une soirée » , précise Hervé Maître. Radio Scoop diffusant de la musique pour tous les goûts et tous les âges, le concert se veut familial et convivial. « On peut très facilement identifier trois ou quatre générations différentes parmi le public » , se réjouit-il.

Un plateau d’exception

Totalement gratuit, le Scoop Music Tour offre un avantage aux parents, qui peuvent accompagner leurs enfants voir leurs artistes préférés à moindres frais. Pour restaurer tout le monde, des stands de snacks et des buvettes se tiendront autour de la fosse. « Chacun vient comme il veut, si vous préférez faire vos sandwichs, vous avez le droit » , explique Hervé Maître. Pour faire fonctionner un tel événement, 250 bénévoles se mobilisent ainsi qu’une centaine d’agents de sécurité et de forces de l’ordre.

Comme chaque année, les artistes sélectionnés font partie des chanteurs et chanteuses diffusés sur les ondes de la radio régionale. À l’affiche du Scoop Music Tour de Feurs, « un plateau d’exception » : Charlie Winston, Willy William, Eva Queen, Dorely, Soolking, Alliel, Tayc, Yanns, Lucenzo, Marghe, Mentissa, Céphaz, Lujipeka, La Petite Culotte et Léna Maire. En plus du grand public, le Scoop Music Tour invite ses partenaires avec des accès privilèges et hyper VIP dans des zones assises. Elles se situeront devant la scène pour offrir une vue plus dégagée sur les différentes performances de la soirée.

Course colorée le 14 juillet

Rappelons que Radio Scoop émet au niveau régional : dans le Rhône, la Loire et Haute-Loire, Le Puy-de-Dôme et l’Allier, l’Ain et la Saône-et-Loire, mais aussi l’Ardèche. Fondée par Daniel Perez, elle fait partie des premières radios indépendantes françaises. Cette année, elle organise également son concert Scoop Music Tour à Valserhône, le 12 juillet. Mais l’évènement existe depuis plus de 25 ans et s’est déjà tenu au Lac des Sapins, dans le Rhône, ou encore au parc Walibi, en Isère.

Le 14 juillet, le comité des fêtes de Feurs organise pour la première fois une course colorée. « Feurs est connue pour être une ville dynamique, mais nous n’avions rien de prévu le jour de la fête nationale » , constate Hervé Maître. Quel est le principe ? Les participants empruntent un parcours ponctué de quelques obstacles et, en chemin, des bénévoles les attendront de pied ferme. Les coureurs se retrouveront ainsi couverts, de la tête aux pieds, de poudre rouge, bleue, jaune ou encore verte. A Feurs, les courses se termineront vers 13h30 avant que l’événement se clôture avec un lancer de poudre géant. Les curieux sont invités à admirer et encourager les participants.

john fowles center for creative writing

• What's Happening
• Recently Past

In the novel,  The French Lieutenant’s Woman , which inspired the movie with the same name, British author John Fowles writes, “We all write poems; it is simply that poets are the ones who write in words.”

This idea that we all harbor stories within us to tell and to share those stories is something for which we all yearn, lies at the core of Chapman University’s John Fowles Center for Creative Writing, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year.

Created to give students and the public opportunities to gain greater appreciation of the written word and of writers, the Fowles Center highlights and celebrates all aspects of creative writing, including poetry, fiction, drama, creative nonfiction and screen and playwriting. To accomplish this goal, each spring the Center invites distinguished national and international writers to Chapman University to share their work with students and the Southern California community at large.

Literary Legends Come to Chapman

Celebrating its 20th Anniversary, the John Fowles Center has hosted such international and national writers as: Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka; Salman Rushdie; Maxine Hong Kingston; Edward Albee; Lawrence Ferlinghetti; Alain Robbe-Grillet; Gioconda Belli; Steve Katz; Pablo Neruda Prize winner, Raúl Zurita; Elias Khoury; II Bienal de Novela winner, Carlos Franz; Pulitzer Prize winner, John Ashbery; David Antin; Willis Barnstone; Nobel Nominees, Claudio Magris and Luisa Valenzuela; Giorgio Pressburger; Giuseppe Conte and Isabel Allende, among others.

Exposing students to the persity of writers in the world and their literature has been the intent of Fowles Center Founder and Director Mark Axelrod. An author and professor of Comparative Literature at Chapman, Axelrod has given students and interested members of the public the chance to hear from a wide variety of voices in creative writing.

“Earning my PhD in Comparative Literature, I had the wonderful opportunity to read many great writers. I’ve invited to Chapman a perse group of writers, both culturally and artistically, including international authors, who share their work in English and their own languages. Some of the writers are Nobel laureates. Several authors are coming this year to celebrate the 20th anniversary.” (See end of article for details)

Fowles Center History

The seeds for the Fowles Center were planted in the late 1970s when Axelrod, who shared the same birthday with Fowles, wrote to the author and asked questions about his writing and a correspondence ensued. Twenty years later, in 1996, while on a Leverhulme Fellowship to teach screenwriting at The University of East Anglia in Norwich, England, Axelrod met Christopher Bigsby, director of the Arthur Miller Centre for American Studies, and talked to him about his centre. Since Axelrod was in Norwich, Bigsby suggested he meet with Fowles at his home in Lyme Regis.

When they met, he asked the writer if he’d be willing to lend his name to a writing center much like Arthur Miller did with the center in Norwich, and Fowles enthusiastically agreed. The Center began in 1997, and the first writer to visit was the Argentine novelist, Luisa Valenzuela. In 2003, Axelrod invited Fowles and his wife, Sara, to Chapman and the University gave him an honorary degree. “We had a marvelous time, but John was not well,” says Axelrod. “Sadly, he died two years later.”

Young Writers’ Workshop

In 2011, in order to reach out to the community, the Center began the John Fowles Center for Creative Writing Young Writers’ Workshop in which Orange High School students participate in creative writing workshops mentored by Chapman graduate students. As part of the workshop, the students are invited to each of the distinguished author Literary Forum readings.

Jan Osborn, assistant professor of Rhetoric and Writing Studies in Chapman’s English Department, is director of the Chapman University/Orange High School Literacies Partnership and facilitates the Young Writers’ Workshop. Open to interested 9-12th graders, the workshop, held each spring, offers students the opportunity to focus on their own creative writing.

“Because of the standardization of K-12 curriculum, students get little chance to be creative in their work,” says Osborn. “The workshop becomes a value-added part of their writing education. They also spend time on a university campus and see themselves as college students one day. And the graduate students who serve as small-group leaders are invaluable. They meet with the students 10 times and help them with their writing and answer questions about college.” At the culmination of the program, there’s an awards ceremony where students can read their work. The program, which began with only five students per workshop, is flourishing with more than 30 students to date.

• See renowned authors this winter and spring at Chapman.

About: John Fowles Center for Creative Writing

The John Fowles Center for Creative Writing was created by Mark Axelrod at Chapman University in order to encourage and advance the art and craft of writing including fiction, poetry, drama, creative non-fiction and film. The Center invites students and as well as those in the Orange County community to engage in the literary community at large. Writers from around the world discuss their work in a global and literary context, including subjects such as historical romances and human rights abuse. Each year the Center invites a distinguished group of national and international writers to share their work with the Chapman community, and the Southern California community at large. The center's namesake is taken from the British writer John Fowles.

Moscow attack explainer: why would Islamic State attack Russia and what will Putin’s response be?

After IS claimed responsibility for shooting in Moscow’s Crocus city hall, questions remain about how Russia will respond

• Russia attack – latest updates

The attack on Moscow’s Crocus City concert hall is the deadliest attack claimed by the Islamic State (IS) on European soil, with 137 people confirmed to have been killed .

On Friday evening, attackers carrying assault rifles entered the concert hall on the outskirts of Moscow, shooting for nearly an hour as panicked concertgoers scrambled to escape. Then the attackers set the venue on fire.

The death toll is slightly higher than the devastating Paris attacks of 2015 , which came at the height of the IS’s power.

Since Friday, events have moved quickly, with four suspects – identified as citizens of Tajikistan by a Russian news agency – appearing in court on Sunday, pleading guilty to being involved.

Questions remain, however: the shape that President Vladimir Putin’s response will take is unclear, while experts are seeking to explain the precise motive for the attack.

Why would IS attack Russia?

There are practical, historical and ideological reasons why IS would attack Russia.

IS leaders have long seen attacks against distant targets as an integral part of their extremist project. Such operations – when successful – terrorise their enemies but also mobilise existing supporters and attract new ones.

Often, targets are determined by what resources are available. Nine years ago, a cohort of French and Belgian recruits in Syria led to a wave of attacks in both countries. In the past 18 months, IS has made a concerted effort to recruit central Asian militants through its Afghan branch, known as Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP). Being Russian speaking, or even Russian nationals, these recruits can easily reach a target in Moscow, offering multiple new opportunities for attacks.

Russia has been in the cross-hairs of IS for many years. IS leaders, like many Islamic militants, are mindful of Russian support for the regime of Bashar al-Assad in Syria. A key point made by IS propaganda from Pakistan to Nigeria is that Moscow is part of the broader coalition of Christian or western forces engaged in an existential, 1,400-year-old battle against Islam.

IS statements claiming responsibility for the attack boasted of “killing Christians”.

Leaders of ISKP may also see Russia as supportive of the continued rule of the Taliban, which has repressed them. They will also remember brutal Soviet military operations in Afghanistan in the 1980s and “the Jihad” waged by their fathers or grandfathers against Moscow’s forces. Russia’s bloody war in Chechnya in 1999 may be a factor too.

What will Russia’s response be?

Many terrorist attacks seek to provoke a powerful repressive response from authorities, with the aim of further escalating violence. If this was part of the IS plan for Moscow, they are unlikely to be disappointed.

Russian authorities’ interrogation of the suspects appears to have been particularly brutal.

Videos circulating of their interrogations suggest that the men were tortured; one of the videos appears to show members of the security forces cutting off the ear of a suspect and then stuffing it into his mouth.

In court, all of the suspects appeared heavily bruised with swollen faces. One of them was brought to court directly from hospital in a wheelchair. He was attended by medics and was seen with multiple cuts.

Putin has vowed to punish those behind the “barbaric terrorist attack” – and Muslim minorities in Russia are likely to face a wave of repression.

In the Russian ruler’s only public remarks on the massacre he made no reference to IS’s claims of responsibility.

Instead, despite IS claiming the attack and releasing footage to corroborate those claims, Russia has still sought to place some blame on Ukraine.

On Saturday, Putin claimed without evidence that the four arrested gunmen planned to flee to Ukraine. The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, has said Putin and others close to him are seeking to divert the blame from Russian intelligence failings.

The US has said it received intelligence that ISKP acted alone.

Will the death toll rise?

As of the Monday after the attack, emergency workers said they were continuing to search for anyone who may be left wounded or dead inside the severely damaged concert hall. The death toll rose multiple times over the weekend as more bodies were found.

Many families were left not knowing if relatives present at the concert hall on Friday night were alive. Igor Pogadaev told the AP news agency that he was desperately seeking any details of his wife’s whereabouts after she went to the concert and stopped responding to his messages. Pogodaev said he scoured hospitals in the Russian capital and the broader Moscow region, looking for information on newly admitted patients. But his wife was not among those reported injured or on the list of victims identified so far, he said. Moscow’s health department said on Sunday it had begun using DNA testing to identify the bodies of those killed, a process that would take at least two weeks.

Moscow City is a multifunctional complex in the west of Moscow, which has come to represent the booming business of Russia’s capital. Its skyscrapers enrich Moscow’s skyline, contrasting the medieval cupolas and Stalinist high-rises. Visitors to Moscow City can enjoy entertainment high in the sky, as the complex is home not just to offices, but to restaurants, cinemas, viewing platforms, and museums.

History of Moscow City

Moscow City was first conceived in 1991 by honoured Soviet architect Boris Tkhor, who proposed to construct a business center in Moscow. It would be complete with gleaming skyscrapers rivalling those of New York and London, to reflect the new life and growing ambitions of post-Soviet Russia.

The chosen site was a stone quarry and disused industrial zone in western Moscow, in between the Third Ring Road and Moskva River. Initially, the territory was divided into 20 sections arranged in a horseshoe shape around a central zone. The skyscrapers would increase in height as they spiralled around the central section, with shorter structures built on the waterfront to give the taller buildings behind a view of the river. 

Architect Gennady Sirota, who contributed to iconic projects such as the Olympic Sports Complex on Prospekt Mira, was selected as the chief architect, and many other world-famous architects were attracted to Moscow to realise their visions in Moscow City.

What can you see and do at Moscow City?

Where Moscow’s cityscape was once dominated by Stalin’s Seven Sisters skyscrapers , this is no more. Moscow City is home to eight of Russia’s ten tallest buildings, six of which exceed 300 metres in height. More buildings are still under construction there today, including the One Tower (which will be Europe’s second-tallest building). Once completed, Moscow City will comprise more than 20 innovative structures.

Each of Moscow City’s skyscrapers was designed by its own architect, lending the cluster of skyscrapers a unique appearance. Aside from being a site of architectural wonder, Moscow City is a place for leisure and entertainment with over 100 cafes and restaurants, exhibition spaces, cinemas, viewing platforms, and more.
