Theatre workshops and courses Midi-Pyrénées

Well known to the inhabitants of Cazilhac, this association created and played in 2005 pieces inspired by contemporary authors: Words of Jacques Prévert - at the Cigalière - and Noëlle Renaude texts - at the Trioletto in Montpellier. In addition to representations, the objective of this work is to allow actors to gain access to their own knowledge, to develop their capacity for concentration, to receive and to give emotion, to work their imagination and creativity through exercises on body, voice, group dynamics, improvisation… Lessons take place on Tuesday - of a. m. to p. m., for adults and Wednesday - from a. m. to p. m., for teenagers, at Vargos Castle in Cazilhac.

At the Scenofolies, it is the choice of texts for amateur or advanced texts and improvisation courses for all. A moment of relaxation and learning of comedy for all ages.

Improvisation workshops for beginner and advanced adults are Monday from a. m. to p. m. and from p. m. to p. m. They take place at the end of the year at shows or games. Children's courses take place through fun games, vocal and personal exercises - Tuesday from a. m. to p. m. and for teens on Wednesday from p. m. to p. m.

Located in the Borderouge district of Paris, the Théâtre de la Violette is a tiny 50-seat venue that stages shows for all audiences, including some for the very young. The shows are poetic, musical, funny or playful, and come in small formats (20 min to 1h30). The theater also has a local outreach mission, and doesn't stop there: it offers your children the chance to take to the stage... from the age of four! It's a great way to overcome shyness, learn to reach out to others, develop your imagination and exercise your artistic talents in a friendly environment.

Actor and founder of the Grenier Théâtre, Francis Azéma is also a teacher. He created the School of Theatre, convinced that every actor, however gifted, must "learn the rules of the game if he wants to do theatre well and for a long time". Diction, interpretation, body in space, listening, silence... The school, which recruits by selection, now offers four workshops. Francis Azéma's workshop is organized in two sessions per year. The other three are run by Grégory Bourut, Samuel Caprini and Philippe Canizarès, who offer annual sessions on Monday and Tuesday evenings. Good to know: with the J'TEM festival, the Grenier Théâtre is involved in the Jeune Théâtre Émergent.

This biterroise association offers an original way of approaching theatre. Here, no classic texts or contemporary pieces that take your head! Stephanie, Lise and Olivier give classes of coffee-theatre, dance and singing to create cabaret and musical performances. Besides the pleasure of playing, actors learn to assert themselves, to improvise, to play, to communicate, and more generally to develop their personality. Singing courses take place at the Maison de la vie associative.

Under the watchful eye of Marc Galabru, Michel's brother, professional actors teach the art of theatre to a hundred students in groups of different levels and ages - children, adolescents, adults.
