EDE anglais Workshop B5 15/03/2016

Par EDE anglais 2015 le 21 mars 2016, 12:53 - Anglais

In the last workshop we rehearsed our parts of the play, Hanna helped us with the pronunciation, the movements and the actions.

We were all really serious and liked it, so we did some choreography in order for the play to be more funny and interesting.

At the beginning of the lesson we did some training. We had to act with the music. For example, if Hanna put romantic music we had to walk like romantic people. It was so funny !!!

After we did our parts and listened to the people who said their part, if we wanted we could give some advice on the action.

EDE anglais Music and costumes for the play

Par EDE anglais 2015 le 21 mars 2016, 12:50 - Anglais

Anna has to do a monologue for a few minutes. We wanted her to sing it. She agreed because she sings well and she likes it.

Aline and Annaëlle will accompany her with a piano. They will create a melody together. There are other musicians like Timoté, Lucas K or Alexia.

The costumes have to be classical because of the subject of the play.

However, the nobles can wear a crown, chains... The lovers can be in white with red details like flowers or hearts. The fairies can wear green clothes.

EDE anglais Workshop A4 08/03/2016

Par EDE anglais 2015 le 18 mars 2016, 22:32 - Anglais

First, we did warm up games.

We started with “Zip, Zap, Boing!” In that game, we had to be focus on the voice of each other and to be fast and precise. We learned to work as a team and to continue to play even if we made mistakes.

“Show must go on!”

Then, we worked in pairs to pull our partner imagining there was a string between the hand and a part of the body (like the nose) of the other. That game made us put (for example ears, nose, shoulders…) ahead of our body to show if we were proud, powerful or curious.

Finally, these games helped us to interpret our characters according to the different feelings, positions and the speed of the body. For example, if you’re sad you walk slowly and your head is lowered whereas when you’re angry you walk fast and your shoulders are back.

EDE anglais Workshop B4 16/02/2016

Par Marie-Françoise Hue le 13 mars 2016, 13:00 - Anglais

On the 16th of February, Hanna was feeling better, so we could carry on with our rehearsals for the play. Before rehearsing our roles, we did the usual preparation exercises with a ball and the way we walk, for example like a sumo or like a ballet dancer. Then, each group of students played their scene and we worked a lot about the way that we would incarnate our characters. For example, we decided the gestures that we would have to do and the tone that we would have to speak in.

For the 2nd of February, the group was asked to learn their lines corresponding to the parts they were given. Unfortunately, Hanna, the actress, wasn't present because she was ill.

As a result, Mme Hue had to take care of the group that day. When the session began, we were asked to act out our parts in front of our classmates. The scenes were acted out in order to practise the first act, the second act and half of the fifth one. This went on for about an hour and a half and we had a great time. This was the first time we had practised all the scenes and it was quite successful.

Finally, during the last half hour, the whole class discussed how we were going to organize ourselves for the music, the costumes and the setting of the play. All in all, this session was very satisfying!

EDE Anglais Workshop A2 26/01/16

On January 26^th, group A had a rehearsal with Joe. We started with some little games (walking in the room and making a statue...), then we made groups (the same as the last time) and we showed our frozen pictures again. We spent the whole session doing them and we adapted them to that has make them into living images. Joe showed us how to greet the audience after the play, but we messed it up. We have to work on it for the next course.

So, since the arrival of Joe, we have never been bored and we have played a lot. During the first thirty minutes, the games bring us together. After, the frozen pictures which become alive help us to be in our character’s shoes, and to play better our role. We have to know our lines for the next time, because we are going to do our part of the play. I’m sure it will be fun!

We also would like to thank Emilie who is our language assistant. Emilie is a student who comes from Tennessee.

EDE Anglais Workshop A1 12/01/16

Par Agnès Goussot le 08 février 2016, 13:09 - Anglais

On Tuesday January 12^th our project became more concrete. Indeed, two professionals actors from Drama-ties came to help us with the play.

So, Joseph (aka Joe for group A) came on Tuesday January 12^th.

Now the whole class is dedicated to theatre exercises and to the staging of the play.

First, we did some theatre exercises. Joe probably wanted to see who would have the main roles in the play. He also wanted to have a first impression about students and the class in general. He rapidly insisted on the fact that we are a group and we have to respect each other and to be quiet and serious during each rehearsal. He also decided that everybody would have a role in the play.

He decided to create groups who have to make “frozen pictures” of some scenes from the play. As the director of the play, he decided to make frozen pictures for all of the play. The frozen scenes will probably be living in the next lesson…

EDE Anglais Workshop B1 05/01/16: "How We Started Rehearsing for the Play"

Par EDE anglais 2015 le 08 février 2016, 13:07 - Anglais

First of all, we did drama exercises.
For example, we walked throughout the room and we tried to fill up all the space.

During the first day with the actress,Hanna, we tried to perform different ways of walking (heavy, light, nervous ...) and different feelings ( happiness, sadness, anger ... ) in order to train for performing.

Then, Hanna asked us to shout "hello" louder and louder as if the person we were speaking to was going further and further away.
I think it was to train to shout very loud without any hesitations and with no shame.

Then, after the training part, we will begin to perform the play.
