British Section, Collège et Lycée International St Germain-en-Laye

2011 saw the first collaboration between Beauville Arts and the British Section of the Collège and Lycée International de St Germain-en-Laye.  These weeks give students the opportunity to enhance their performing arts experience whilst both creating and cementing friendships, getting to know like-minded students perhaps from other year groups or college sites.

A big congratulations to the cast of  ‘Grease!’.   Click here to see photos:

A maximum of 36 students will be divided into three workshop groups and each day, following an energetic warm-up, rotate between workshops in dance, singing and set design.  Theatre sessions and general ensemble rehearsals complete an intensive rehearsal schedule (approx. 7 hours per day) however students also get the chance to relax with extra-curricular activities proposed in the evenings.  These include a quiz night, film night, sports night and talent show!

Beauville Arts operates on an ‘everyone does everything’ basis and principal roles will be shared.  All students will have lines and plenty of lyrics and dance steps to learn!  The show will be presented  back in St Germain-en-Laye on Monday 13 May.

Places are strictly limited and awarded on a ‘first come first served basis’. Please note that application must be made to Beauville Arts SARL who assumes full responsibility for the trip, and not the school.
