In this introduction to acting workshop, international students will learn basic acting technique while improving their English skills. We will incorporate voice work, physical improvisation and scene study to prepare students to perform in American English. The 5 session class will culminate in a presentation of monologues and scenes. In keeping with our mission to promote international theatre by living artists, we will draw on texts by contemporary famous finternational playwrights. Students will have the choice to work on contemporary American texts or translate their scene or monologue into English from their native tongue, if they so desire. The class will include regular visits to international theatre events followed by discussion.

March 1 - April 12

11th Annual Theatre Festival held at the Lycee Francais!! This year the theme is "Declaration".
The children of the "Language and Laughter Studio", awarded last year with the Grand Prize, will be performing a ten minutes play: "Le Royaume des Declarations". A short play written and directed by their teacher: Stephanie Fribourg.
The Festival Première Scène, hosted each March by the Lycée, is a juried competition that celebrates the language and culture of France. Schools from across New York City and around the tri-state area (NY, NJ, CT) are invited to come to the Lycée to perform scenes in French from established plays and original theater pieces. Festival Première Scène represents a unique opportunity for children and teenagers—most of whom do not attend French-language schools—to become immersed in French language, and to experience first hand the theatrical traditions of la langue de Molière.
