Français I is a fast-paced class designed to help you learn to speak French with confidence and make friends with a wonderful group of like-minded Francophiles.

French I is a basic French language class designed for performing arts professionals and theatre lovers. The first half of the class will focus on grammar with an emphasis on verbs. Students will also perform simple improvisation exercises to build a personal relationship to the language and increase confidence speaking French.

L'atelier Francophone est un cours de théâtre en français basé sur des exercices d'imagination qui sollicitent le corps et la voix pour arriver à un jeu créatif et "réel".

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.

Nous travaillons aussi sur des scènes diverses écrites par des auteurs contemporains francophones.

French II class is a French acting class designed for performing arts professionals and theatre lovers with a basic to intermediate knowledge of French.The first half hour of class will focus on advanced grammar with an emphasis on verbs.

In the second part of class, students will rehearse scenes and monologues from contemporary French plays to improve pronunciation skills, build vocabulary, develop reading comprehension and listening skills and gain cultural enrichment.

In this introduction to acting workshop, international and American students will have the opportunity to learn basic acting technique. We will incorporate voice work, physical improvisation and scene study.

In keeping with our mission to promote international theatre by living artists, we will draw on texts by contemporary playwrights from around the world. Students will have the choice to work on contemporary American texts or translate their scene or monologue into English from a foreign language, if they so desire.

The class will include regular visits to international theatre events followed by discussion. This class is appropriate for international and American students.

No acting experience required.
