It is the meeting of different collaborating activities :

The practise Going on the stage  is not so easy : it also means to work on the body, gestures, way of moving, voice, intonations... The first weeks are dedicated to this kind of practises.
Practising english At the same time, it gives the pupils the opportunity of speaking the language and of discovering american and british writers.
Starting tap dancing  American tap dancing (mostly jazz), english and irish tap dancing which are quite different…
Practising music There is always music in the plays, so we have been associated with young musicians who come and play on the stage as well.
Writing on litterature   First, Eric writes a play based on a precise reference (Kerouac, Tennessee Williams, Orwell, Shakespeare…) then, we start the work for the stage : collaborators work and talk over the play and try to give their contribution in the final direction, when it comes on the stage at the end of the school year.
