Language & Theater
Theater and Language
This course aims at developing ease and fluidity of oral communication in French, using the language in a new and playful context. With the support of contemporary Francophone plays, students will discover the diversity of the French language by working on pronunciation, quality of voice, gesture and breathing to develop confidence in public speaking. We will explore various applications of these techniques in teaching, conference presentations, etc.
The course will be articulated in a dynamic, participative and creative way around three axis:
1) Dramaturgical approach of the plays: reading, discussion, analysis;
2) Exercises stemming from the theatrical pedagogy to improve the qualities of articulation, pronunciation, memorization, verbal ease and public speaking;
3) Staging extracts of the studied plays, which will close the course.
No previous theater experience required
Required texts:
Suzie BASTIEN, LukaLila, Lansman Éditeur, 2017 ; ISBN: 978-2-8071-0155-5
NOTE:
Marcos CARAMÉS-BLANCO, Gloria Gloria, will be available as a coursepack on Canvas
