A topic of the moment if ever there was one, join us in exploring the theme of confinement through French novels, poetry, and film. From Xavier de Maistre’s praise of “the pleasure of traveling around one's room” to Thomas Clerc’s cartography of every inch of his Parisian apartment, as well as Baudelaire, Camus and Perec, this série will offer you, if not an antidote to the current state of affairs, a meeting place to read and discuss a few good books with Camilo.
- Première séance: Les fleurs du mal, Charles Baudelaire (choix) (1857)
- Deuxième séance: À rebours, Joris-Karl Huysmans (1884)
- Troisième séance: La peste, Albert Camus (1947)
- Quatrième séance: Un homme qui dort, film réalisé par Bernard Queysanne d’après le roman de Georges
Perec (1964) - Cinquième séance: Intérieur, Thomas Clerc (2015)
KIDS YOGA - LITTLE WORKSHOP
Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday 5:00pm > 5:30pm
September 21st, 22nd & 23rd, 2020
- For 5-10 years old all level of French -
Stretch and roar together! There’s nothing quite like watching active kids participate in animal yoga, those wild ones calm down in minutes. It’s a relaxing, quiet activity that’s keeping their body focused.
It's fun and engage children's imagination and playfulness. They will engage their minds and learn French words related to poses. Enroll your kids for classes that will encourage their self-esteem and body awareness with a physical activity that is non-competitive.
More to come!
Stay tuned for new activities.
