    About

    "Jeux Droles" is the first acting workshop for children to learn and have fun in French - Starting in January @ CoucouBrooklyn
    Mission
    Teach a language through acting, boost self-confidence and have fun.
    Description

    Have fun with acting

    “Jeux D’roles” means roleplay and funny games. Our approach is based on words and pronunciation, sense memory, repetition, improvisation and immersion, invented scenes or scenes from existing plays.

    Learn a language
    Our workshops are bilingual but mostly taught in French. Our objective is to teach children how to learn to communicate and have fun in another language. Speaking a language is not only about saying words. It is also about finding your “persona” in another language. This includes thoughts, sensations, emotions and experiences in another language that can be discovered and explored through acting. Our classes offer a trusted and safe environment that enables children to develop imagination and focus, and to build self-confidence.

  • Location: The Morgan Library & Museum
  • Description:

    Le Petit Prince was born in New York.

    Published in 1943, The Little Prince is one of the world's most beloved books. Author Antoine Saint-Exupery wrote and illustrated the book in New York, between Long Island and Manhattan.

    "The Little Prince" tells the adventures of a boy who hails from a tiny asteroid no larger than a house. On his way to Earth, he visits other planets and meets a king, a conceited man, a drunkard, a lamplighter and a geographer. On Earth, he encounters a fox who teaches him: "What is essential is invisible to the eye." The phrase is the book's central theme and one Saint-Exupery revised 15 times, including the version "What matters cannot be seen."

     

    “The Little Prince: A New York Story” now through April 27 at the Morgan Library & Museum, 225 Madison Avenue, at 36th Street; 212-685-0008; themorgan.org

  • THE LAST OF THE UNJUST

  • Feb 6, 2014 to Mar 28, 2014
  • Location: Lincoln Plaza Cinema
  • Description:

    With Shoah, 87 year-old Claude Lanzmann re-oriented our understanding of the defining event of the 20th century. Three decades after that cinematic milestone, he does so once again with the masterful THE LAST OF THE UNJUST from an entirely new personal, historical and aesthetic perspective. At the new film’s center is Benjamin Murmelstein, the last Jewish elder of Theresienstadt (the so-called "model" concentration camp) who worked under the direct supervision of Adolf Eichmann, and a figure who was once despised by many of the surviving inhabitants of that dreadful "city". In a lengthy interview shot in Rome that was originally intended for Shoah (intercut with Lanzmann himself revisiting specific sites in Vienna and the Czech Republic, as well as footage, photos and artworks), the brilliant Murmelstein—sometimes excitedly but more often calmly – explains his actions and precisely defines his paradoxical role in history.

  • LE WEEK-END

  • Mar 13, 2014 to Apr 25, 2014
  • Location: Lincoln Plaza Cinema and Angelika Film Center
  • Description:

    Music Box Films is proud to announce the release of Roger Michell's (Notting Hill) acclaimed dramatic comedy LE WEEK-END, set in Paris, and starring two of Britain’s national treasures, Academy Award winner Jim Broadbent (Iris, Topsy-Turvy, Another Year) and Lindsay Duncan (Under the Tuscan Sun, Mansfield Park), as well as Jeff Goldblum. A hit with critics and audiences in England, LE WEEK-END is scheduled to open in New York and Los Angeles on March 14.

    In Mr. Michell's magically buoyant and bittersweet film, Jim Broadbent and Lindsay Duncan play a long-married couple who revisit Paris for a long weekend for the first time since their honeymoon, in hopes of rekindling their relationship—or, perhaps, to bring it to an end. Diffident, wistful Nick (Broadbent) and demanding, take-charge Meg (Lindsay Duncan) careen from harmony to disharmony to resignation and back again as they take stock and grapple with love, loss, regret and, disappointment, in their own very English way.
