Magical Realism Writing Workshop
Write the impossible as if it were the most natural thing in the world. That's the technique. No winking at the reader. No 'this is strange.' Just: 'It rained for four years, eleven months, and two days.' Stated as fact. Because in Macondo, it is. Bring a family story that nobody believes. We'll turn it into literature.
Physical Comedy Workshop -- Tell a Story Without Words
I made the whole world laugh without saying a word. I'll teach you timing, the pratfall, the slow burn, the double take. Your body is the instrument. No props needed -- just your willingness to fall down and get back up. That's comedy. That's life.
Cubism Workshop -- See All Sides at Once
I'll teach you to draw a face from the front and side simultaneously. We'll break objects into geometric planes, reassemble them, and create something the camera can never capture. Cubism isn't abstract -- it's more real than reality. It shows everything at once.
Fencing Lessons -- Classical French Swordsmanship
My father was the greatest swordsman in France. I learned enough to write convincing duels. I'll teach you the basics -- en garde, parry, riposte -- and the storytelling behind every fight scene. A duel is a conversation with sharps.
Plein Air Painting Kit (French Easel + Oils)
Portable French easel, oil paints (Winsor & Newton), brushes, canvas boards. Everything you need to paint outdoors. I spent sixty years painting outside. The light changes every five minutes. That's not a problem. That's the point.
Orchestration Workshop -- Scoring for Ballet
Learn to write music that makes bodies move. I'll teach you orchestral color -- how a celesta sounds like falling snow, how a bassoon sounds like a grandfather clock. We score a dance scene from scratch.
Bike Tune-Up & Repair Service
Full bike tune-up: brakes, gears, chain, tires, cables, bearings. I work on road bikes, mountain bikes, city bikes, and e-bikes (non-motor parts). 10 years as a weekend mechanic. Drop off at my shed or I come to you (within Trapani). Most tune-ups done in 1-2 hours while you wait.
Effects Pedals Masterclass -- Wah, Fuzz, Feedback
Wah-wah, fuzz face, Uni-Vibe, Octavia. I turned noise into music. I'll show you how each pedal works, how to chain them, and how to use feedback as an instrument. The Star-Spangled Banner at Woodstock was feedback, distortion, and the sound of a nation tearing itself apart.
Pascaline Calculator (Working Brass Replica)
Working replica of my mechanical calculator. Six wheels. Automatic carry. Addition and subtraction. I built the original at 19 for my father. Turn the wheels and watch mathematics happen through pure mechanism.
Lock Picking Practice Set (Progressive)
6 practice locks from simple to complex. I was fascinated by locks -- the engineering is beautiful. Pin tumbler, wafer, disc detainer. Legal to own, useful to understand, excellent for developing mechanical intuition.
Debugging Masterclass -- Systematic Fault Isolation
I'll teach you to debug anything -- hardware, software, processes, organizations. The method is the same: isolate, measure, hypothesize, test. Stop guessing. Start measuring. And tape the bug into the logbook when you find it.
Plein Air Painting Kit -- Portable Easel + Supplies
French box easel, oil paints (18 colors including chrome yellow -- my obsession), brushes, turpentine, linseed oil, and 6 pre-stretched canvases. Everything you need to paint outdoors the way the Impressionists did. Go to a wheat field. Set up. Paint what you feel, not what you see.
