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.

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.

Baya (Sara Forestier) is a young liberal who takes the old hippie slogan “Make love, not war” literally -- converting right-wing men to her lefty political causes by seducing them!  She enjoys exceptional results until she meets Arthur (Jacques Gamblin), an angst-ridden, middle aged, Jewish, middle-of-the road scientist. Bound by common tragic family histories (the Algerian War and WWII under the Vichy Regime), the duo improbably fall in love. In this unexpected, enchanted love story, filmmaker Michel Leclerc offers bubbly amour, sexy humor and moments of sheer madness, with an injection of savvy commentary on hot-button sociopolitical issues like Arab-Jewish relations, anti-Semitism, immigration, and racial and cultural identity.
