Chers parents,

Join us for a winter full of fairy tale fun in French! Have you ever wanted to play a prince, princess, king or queen? Do the singing seven dwarfs or magical fairies tickle your fancy? Our camp is just the right place to try out different roles from different fairy tales while learning a language.The camp sessions are Monday - Friday from 9:30am to 2:30pm. We do warm up games, movement activities, theater games to prepare our little actors for the stage. We then choose a fairy tale that we will rehearse and act out as a group. Each child picks their own role and of course we have costumes to complete the transformation! On Fridays at 1pm, there is a presentation for friends and family.

Please bring a snack and lunch for your children.

This camp is intended for children with a good knowledge of French. The class will be conducted entirely in French as will the final presentation. 

Ages 5-10 years old.

Pablo Picasso did not speak often about abstraction, but when he did, it was either to dismiss it as complacent decoration or to declare its very notion an oxymoron. The root of this hostility is to be found in the impasse that the artist reached in the summer 1910, when abstraction suddenly appeared as the logical development of his previous work, a possibility at which he recoiled in horror. But though he swore to never go again near abstraction, he could not prevent himself from testing his resolve from time to time. The paper will examine several encounters, or rather false encounters, of Picasso with abstraction. The talk will also discuss the way in which pioneers of abstract art (Mondrian in particular) thought of their own art as the continuation of Picasso’s.
