Most language learners don’t struggle because they’re not capable. They struggle because they’re afraid. When I was preparing for one of my classes as a language teacher, I found myself scrolling through the internet, looking for activities to use with my students. I wanted something that would make learning Czech feel a bit easier - and a lot more engaging. Somewhere along the way, I stumbled upon a series of articles about using improvisation in the classroom. They all made

The process unfolded through three creative meetings that we called Labs: one in Hungary, one in France, and the final one in Italy, where we tested the format and later premiered it in front of a real audience.

The battle of thoughts around originality in the arts really intrigues me. On the one hand a unique idea is something everyone is looking for. Something new, something fresh - a new style, a new genre, a new way of entertaining the audience. But we also think all good art has already been done and everything that is produced now is just a copy of past inspirations. Hence all the legal battles about the authorship of songs - you’ve probably heard of Ed Sheeran playing his guit

Le spectacle est un joyeux patchwork de scènes où malgré la barrière de la langue, la complicité évidente des comédiens donne naissance à des moments souvent drôles, tantôt absurdes, parfois poétiques (mention spéciale à la dégustation de glace dans un opéra). La scène du traducteur m’a particulièrement marqué ! Un "soufleur" se glisse juste derrière un des comédiens qui joue un expert sur une thématique suggéré par le publi

The child of parents from two different countries living in a third, I was born into a home where languages intertwined and carried with them a sense of warmth and familiarity. That early experience of language as something that brought people together shifted abruptly when I was seven and we moved to the United States. I didn’t speak a word of English beyond fumbling through “head, shoulders, knees, and toes”, and overnight, language transformed from a source of connection i

Keith Johnstone’s High-Status Trick Presentation is a quick way to workshop status, confidence and presentation

Tout est affaire de mimétisme et de mascarade. Très mauvaise à l’école, je n’ai jamais su absorber des connaissances par l’apprentissage classique. J’avais toujours 0 à mes dictées et je craignais toutes formes d’interrogations, au point que j’ai développée une forme de détachement face à ma médiocrité. Je décidais de ne pas apprendre pour ne pas souffrir de ne pas y parvenir. Ainsi lorsque je suis partie à l’étranger pour la première fois, le choc fût complet. Sans mots, san
