Languages for students was designed for secondary and A level students.
​
In line with our education approach to share and discover, we adapt the present literary works in keeping with the school curriculum. It allows students to go deeper into the author’s work with the use of improvisation, acting and glimpses of directions.
We currently offer L’Etranger by Albert Camus, Candide by Voltaire, Les Mains Sales by Jean-Paul Sartre, Tartuffe by Molière and Le Château de ma Mère by Marcel Pagnol. We are happy to work on other novels, plays or scripts.
The workshop can be 1h or 1h30 and it needs a minimum of five sessions. The more sessions you have, the more the bigger the student’s input will be! We finish the sessions with a theatrical performance of our collective work.
Understanding the piece:
The workshop leader and the students talk a lot about the piece. How much have they already understood, what are its theme, who are the characters... They also do some improvisation on the book.
The authors and their world:
The author has a special place in France writing history. It is important for the students to know their other works to understand why and how this particular novel was written.
Devising and writing:
After lots of drama exercises, the group finds some key moments of the story. Together with the workshop leader,
they choose the most important scenes and start writing their own play version.
Directing and performing:
The workshop leader casts the play and direct the students. A performance is ready to be shown to the group or an audience.
