    Mission

    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.

    “No one’s serious at 17,” wrote Arthur Rimbaud,  a sentiment  that may justify the choices made by 17-year-old Isabelle (Ms. Vacth), over the course of a pivotal year. Her transgressive and intimately observed coming-of-age journey is divided in four seasonal chapters and four pop songs, from her sexual awakening to her first time, to her foray into prostitution and her search for identity. Francois Ozon observes her journey without judgment, reflecting on the emotions and insecurities that saturate a young person’s entrance into adulthood, and again proves a master at coaxing strong performances from young actors.

    La femme chocolat viendra croquer la Grosse Pomme le 7 mai, pour un seul et unique concert new-yorkais au mythique Poisson Rouge sur Bleecker Street.

    Elle interprétera entre autres les chansons de son dernier album « Le calme et la tempête », sorti en décembre 2012 et sur lequel elle a signé, pour la première fois, a la fois les paroles et la musique. Entre pop-rock et ballades, cet album s’inscrit dans la continuité musicale de l’artiste, qui affirme, une fois de plus, son identité. L’époque de la Star Ac’ semble bien loin !
