2 I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear, Those of mechanics, each one singing his as it should be blithe and strong, The carpenter singing his as he measures his plank or beam, The mason singing his as he makes ready for work, or leaves off work, The boatman singing what belongs to him in his boat, the deck-hand singing on the steamboat deck, The shoemaker singing as he sits on his bench, the hatter singing as he stands, The woodcutter's song, the ploughboy's on his way in the morning, or at noon intermission or at sundown, The delicious singing of the mother, or of the young wife at work, or of the girl sewing or washing, Each singing what belongs to him or her and to none else, The day what belongs to the day at night the party of young fellows, robust, friendly, singing with open mouths their strong melodious songs. Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass, 1867 PhotoAndreaGaal,Austria LES CLANDESTINES Strasbourg / 2

5 I come from a family of professional and amateur musicians. My family traveled from North to South and East to West, to finally settle down in Wyoming. My mother lived in Laramie before she came to live in France. My Canadian grandfather used to sing in a barbershop quartet; my uncle played the guitar in several country and bluegrass groups; my grandmother improvised on the piano and sang all sorts of tunes that she remembered from different musicals. On the piano used to sit a few books such as «The American song bag» by Carl Sandburg and J.J. Niles s «Ballad book», as in many other American families. I grew up in the South of France, listening to the records that my family had brought back from the United States: Bessie Smith and Mahalia Jackson, New Orleans jazz, bluegrass music I could feel the power of the voices, I related in a strong and intimate way to the musical styles and to the language that was still alive in me. As an adult living in a French environment, I felt animated with the desire to sing in English, the language of my first musical experiences. Then came the desire to share this repertoire and to investigate with others the American roots of our present musical language.

Their jumping, hammering and dancing create noises and sounds that Whitman evokes in Leaves of Grass, when he writes that he hears Americasinging. The sounds are created by the bodies of the actors, their boots and hammers,aswellasbytheinstruments:percussionsandguitars. Instruments and amplification Two male musicians accompany the female voices: a guitar player and a percussionist/drumplayer.someofthesingersplayanoccasionalukulele orharmonica. And the instruments are also used to create sound effects, to convey impressionsofmovement,ortosuggestcertainactivitiesorlandscapes. The voices are occasionally amplified, in order to allow solos and special effects. LES CLANDESTINES Strasbourg / 7

There,inthestreets,isanurgetotelloftheworld. That is why performing in the streets is so important to Les Clandestines and why their latest shows have all been invented for the specific conditionsofoutdoorspaces. Performing in the streets allows a straightforward connection with the audience,whichsuitsboththenatureoffolkmusicandthepersonalityof LesClandestines.

Body work In 2006, with their show Camping sauvage, Les Clandestines started exploring an approach to singing based on the energy of the body. This energymanifestsinanurgetogoforward.
