    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.

  • CHINESE PUZZLE

  • May 15, 2014 to Jul 25, 2014
  • Location: Lincoln Plaza Cinema and Angelika Film Center
  • Description:

    Cohen Media Group is proud to announce the upcoming release of Cédric Klapisch’s CHINESE PUZZLE, the New York-set third installment in Mr. Klapisch’s popular trilogy, scheduled to open in New York (Lincoln Plaza) and Los Angeles on Friday, May 16 followed by a national roll out.

    Years after L'Auberge Espagnole  and Russian Dolls, Xavier (Romain Duris)’s life is still a mess. His ex-wife Wendy (Kelly Reilly) has left him in Paris and taken their kids to New York. Always up for an adventure, broken-hearted Xavier follows them to the city and begins to piece together a life for himself amidst the cheerful chaos of downtown Manhattan and Brooklyn. An imminent deadline for his new novel, the realities of immigration, his ex girl-friend, Martine (Audrey Tautou) and best friend Isabelle (Cécile de France,) add to the vibrant jumble in this comically delightful conclusion to Cédric Klapisch’s trilogy. Now 40 years-old, the characters have left a bit of their naiveté and carefree attitude behi

  • Ouni Mam: Conceptual Painter from the Reunion Island at Agora Gallery NYC

  • May 16, 2014 at 7:00am to Jun 5, 2014 at 2:00pm
  • Location: Agora Gallery
  • Description:

    NEW YORK, NY – Chelsea’s Agora Gallery will feature the original work of Bruay la Buissiere artist Ouni Mam in Contemporary Perspectives. The exhibition begins on May 16, 2014 and runs until June 5, 2014, with an opening reception on the evening of Thursday May 22, at 6-8pm.

    About the Artist

    Ouni Mam paints in a wide variety of styles, from figurative to abstract and symbolic pieces. Yet despite the diversity of subjects in her work, every piece by this artist is recognizably hers. This is thanks to her personal signature of bright, saturated colors, impasto brushstrokes, and an emphasis on light and movement. Preferring to work in oils, Ouni Mam’s powerful pieces are creations of the moment, a reflection of the artist’s instincts and emotions as she stands in front of the canvas. As the artist herself explains, she paints “the incorporeal, the conceptual and intangible.” Whatever artistic style she employs, her paintings give the impression of being transparent veils that reveal differe

  • Exclusive DJ Set of Parisian Electro Duo Jupiter w/ Escort (DJ Set), and Alan Blancato

  • May 24, 2014 at 7:30pm to May 25, 2014 at 12:00am
  • Location: Glasslands
  • Description:

    PopGun presents a DJ set of French-English duo Jupiter. Expect to travel through time and style: From Boogie funk, italo neo disco, to arena rock, psyche pop with a hint of dub & reggae, Jupiter’s set will be eclectic, reflecting the genres of their debut album Juicy Lucy.

     

    Based in Paris, Amelie and Quarles first met one night in London. An empty dancefloor, a one hit wonder (1982 funk classic ‘Mama Used To Say’), a band was born. Their work relies on a common passion for a time when glitter and carelessness were kings. The impact of disco and electro-funk on their music is a clear one, yet the band happily quotes a wider range of influences, such as Sly & Robbie, Beach House, Alan Parsons Project, Siriusmo or even the Beastie Boys.


    Their first single, ‘Starlighter’, caused quite a stir on the blogosphere when it came out in 2009. As a true underground anthem, it encompassed the fullness of the band: a rich blend of songwriting chic and dancefloor hedonism. Their remixes for Metronomy,
