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.

Sundance Selects is proud to announce the release of  YOUNG & BEAUTIFUL, the latest drama from Francois Ozon, one of the most provocative French writer-directors, featuring a star-making performance by stunning newcomer Marine Vacth.  YOUNG & BEAUTIFUL is scheduled to open in New York (IFC Center) on Friday, April 25 followed by a national roll out.

“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. YOUNG & BEAUTIFUL was nomi

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 !

Cohen Media Group is proud to announce the new restoration of Patrice Chéreau’s lavish historical drama QUEEN MARGOT (1994), starring Isabelle Adjani in the title role which will open at Film Forum on Friday, May 9 followed by a national roll out.

France, 1572, and during an uneasy break in the wars of religion, Jean-Hugues Anglade’s King Charles IX concludes a marriage of state between his sister, Isabelle Adjani’s Catholic Margot, and Daniel Auteuil’s Huguenot King Henry of Navarre, by ramming forward a reluctant Adjani’s head in lieu of a ‘Oui’. But Virna Lisi’s skull-faced Queen Mother/Regent is already plotting the St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre, and that’s just the beginning of the head-snapping side switches, non-stop scheming, sometimes accidental poisoning, double beheadings, and frenzied couplings, including Adjani’s throbbingly romantic affair with Vincent Perez’s La Môle.

The late Patrice Chéreau’s high octane adaptation of the Alexandre Dumas novel begins in fifth gear and n

ImagineFrance showcases French cultural heritage- The photo exhibit ImagineFrance by artist-photographer Maia Flore which will tour the world over the next three years offers a unique insight into French castles, museums and monuments. The show's first stopover is the Institut franais-Centre Saint-Louis in the Italian capital Rome.
In order to take the pictures, between July and September 2013, Flore travelled through France, visiting 25 cultural sites to present them according to the inspiration they inspired in her. Promoters explained the idea was to make each place come alive, highlighting its unexpected qualities.
The show, organized by Atout France and the Institut Francais will stay open in Rome until April 26 and then move to Naples (May 7-24, 2014) and Milan (May 27-June 8 2014). New York will host a parallel exhibit at the Emmanuel Fremin Gallery on May 8-24 2014.

“Color & Light" Plein Air Painting Workshop and Getaway, May 8-11, 2014:
Do you have a desire to express your creative side? I am offering a three day intensive plein air painting workshop and getaway in the Berkshires, May 8-11th. Beginning through advanced students will learn the "Color & Light" method of creating vibrant landscapes and still lifes, an approach that has been handed down since the time of the French Impressionists through the Cape Cod School of Art, founded by American Impressionist Charles Hawthorne, a contemporary of Monet. Students will learn direct color perception and how to simplify the landscape into basic masses. For more information and to register, go to http://www.angelamanno.com/classes.php or check out the new Facebook Page with lots more images and a video clip of painting in the lavender fields of Provence. I look forward to answering any questions. A bientôt!
