L'atelier Francophone est un cours de théâtre basé sur des  exercices sur l'imagination, le corps et la voix pour arriver à un jeu créatif et "réel". Pour nourrir ce jeu, la vie intérieure de l'acteur est mise à contribution, ce qui amène de la richesse de part l'individualité de chaque personne.  

Nous travaillons aussi sur des scènes écrites par des auteurs contemporains francophones.  Le cours intègre des méthodes diverses d'apprentissage du jeu (Meisner, Stanislavski, Chekhov, etc) pour que l'acteur puisse découvrir les outils qui marchent le mieux pour lui.

L’accent est mis sur le travail en groupe. L’intérêt est de créer une troupe d'acteurs construite sur cet art qu’est le travail en commun, composée d’individus  qui apprécient et essaient de nourrir autant le travail de la compagnie entière que de leur propres personnes. 

 Ce semestre, nous continuerons notre travail sur Cet Enfant de Joël Pommerat.  Vous pouvez vous procurer le texte  ici.

The French Institute Alliance Française (FIAF) invites you to join us for the fourth edition of our annual World Nomads Festival, which this year showcases the arts and culture of Morocco. The month-long, multi-disciplinary Festival, celebrating 21st-century transculturalism through the arts while advancing critical thinking and dialogue among cultures, will be held in May 2011.

Morocco is recognized worldwide for its distinctive and layered cultural identity. The country’s unique geographical location has made it a crossroad for ancient trade routes, and continues to contribute to its importance as a migratory highway for ideas and peoples. Today’s Morocco shines as a hub of traditional and modern creative expression, where ancient cultural practices thrive, kept alive by a full spectrum of master artisans, performing artists, and more, while innovations are woven into vibrant contemporary artistic forms.

To many people across the world, Morocco is known as the site of rich scenic locations and beautiful film sets. Building on the stellar accomplishments of veteran directors of past decades before them, a new generation of filmmakers has emerged in the past ten years as a fresh, raw and bold cinematic voice, engaged with the complexities of present-day Morocco. This series highlights contemporary issues that pervade artistic production in Morocco: the legacy of the years of political repression, undocumented workers' migration to Europe, Casablanca as an urban metropolis, and Morocco's increasing commitment to cultural diversity.

Highlights of the World Nomads Morocco CinémaTuesdays series include Faouzi Bensaidi’s A Thousand Months, winner of two awards at the 2003 Cannes Film Festival; the remarkable 1935 short film View of the Main Square and the Small Square from director Gabriel Veyre, who trained with the Lumièr
