Summary of the year!

Lack of time, much work and...laziness have prevented the Froggies from summing up 2009's last sessions. But here is a great opportunity to write down the summary of the year: what worked, what can be improved, what to expect from 2010. So here we go! (Comments are more than welcome)


What works

A great group, much implication, a lot of imagination, acceptance of my sometimes weird exercices, quite a good combination between the old froggies and the tadpoles.
A new place to work, ok, a bit cold and not that welcoming, but great area to work, lots of space and...a piano!
The participation of the froggies in writing the summary of the week...in English. Much appreciated by terrifying teacher: good exercise for the froggies and much less work for the guru as well hé!hé!
The involvement of the pianist, who is now participating quite seriously in the acting exercises.
The poetry show, at the Club des Poètes, with Alain, Maria, Gwenola,Thibaut and former froggies Barbara, Michèle, Sylvie and friends, which was an excellent event, with very touching moments.


What can be improved

No change in the number of Froggies anymore, please! We'll start the rehearsals for the play from January and the talent of everybody will be much appreciated.

Being on time: much progress in the air I must say. Our debate on staying later or not depending on the arrival time of everybody was quite positive actually. As you may have noticed, i'm not much of a guru as far as discipline is concerned, so everybody's involvement is very much appreciated. Of course, it is very important to continue being on time as we get closer to our end of the year play.

Songs: I must say, the exercises on singing were not very successful but of great importance, so i'm warning ya: we'll keep on singing! Ok, no "fever" anymore, time to change, but great exercises will be produced i'm quite sure of that.

What to expect from 2010

As you know, we started exercices with words, and we will keep on working with language. So, for those who want to be corrected with their grammar and/or pronunciation errors, please let me know, so i can write down every mistake.
Also, we will focus on feelings and how to express them
And, of course, the play! i'll get the play i've ordered in a week or so. As soon as i get it, we'll start the readings and the cast. Shouldn't be long, probably the 11th or the 18th of January.
Then, "la Compagnie du Pausilippe" really liked our poetry night and would like us to do exactly the same thing on the 3rd of April. We'll talk about that on monday the 4th.
And we need to organize our night at the theatre for the play in English. Again, we'll see that on monday.


Last but not least: we can't start the new year without celebrating it, so we need to organize a short drinking and eating session during the pause on monday, the 4th or the 11th!!

See you on monday dear Froggies and Happy New Year!
