SUMMARY:Francophone Summer Camp
DESCRIPTION:at Peachtree Center\nThis class is an exploration of Francophone cultures outside of mainland France. Each day your child will focus on a different Francophone country: Haïti\, Congo\, Sénégal\, Belgique et Martinique. The objective of this course is to create a new vision of what French is and where it is spoken\, while also reformulating certain stereotypes of these countries as “developing” and “poor.”  Children’s literature and films written by artists from these countries will be used to represent the cultures they are learning about. They will also be introduced to societal issues\, such as environmental health and migration through the pieces that we use.\n\nYour child will create a “passport” and we will add a new flag to for each country they “visit.” The objective by the end of this camp is that students have an awareness of Francophone countries outside of France and can speak about these cultures.\n\nFor example\, for Haiti\, they will read the children’s book\, “le dernier mapou\,” and speak about the sacred importance of the mapou in Haitian culture. They will talk about the environment and learn vocabulary to talk about this. Each student will then create an art piece about what nature signifies for them. This day they will also talk about environmental issues\, and learn vocabulary surrounding global warming and deforestation by watching a video of the situation in Haiti. We will not focus on the earthquake\, or consider Haiti as a disaster or poor country\, but rather reframe the narrative of this country and consider it for its culture and beautiful environment.\n\nThe number of students is limited.

SUMMARY:Climate Crisis & Contemporary Culture: Anthropocene Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Contemporary Theatre straight from Paris by way of Berlin! \nJoin the Alliance Française and the Goethe-Zentrum in a powerful\, three-part event featuring live theatrical performances by Parisian theatre director and performer Duncan Evennou. \n“Matters” and “Moving Earths” address the question of the Anthropocene – a term used to refer to the geological era in which we live\, where questions of climate\, ecology and geology have come to be defined by the presence and activities of human beings.\n\nDuncan Evennou is a contemporary performer and director specializing in experimental\, multi-media theatre. His performance “Matters” is based on work at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin.\n\nJoin the Goethe-Zentrum and Alliance Française at the Georgia Tech campus for this exciting final event of their year-long series on Climate Crisis and Contemporary Cultures\, in cooperation with the German Consulate General and the Cultural Services of the French Embassy.\n\nFull event line-up information here and below.\n\n\nThursday\, Dec. 2\, 2021\, 11 am – 12:30 pm\, Debate\, Discussion and Round Table with Duncan Evennou\, Frédérique Aït Touati\, Clemence Hallé\, Auditorium 152 Kendeda Building.\nThe event will be held both in person in the Kendeda Building Auditorium 152 and virtually on BlueJeans. The conversation will be moderated by Dr. Andrea Jonsson\, Assistant Professor of French at the School of Modern Languages at the Georgia Institute of Technology. It is free for all to attend. \nWorking with the French philosopher and sociologist Bruno Latour\, the theater companies Zone critique (Frédérique Aït-Touati) and Lighthouse Compagny (Duncan Evennou) explore in a unique way the most urgent ecological and climatic issues. Between philosophy and theatre\, stage and science\, Zone critique and Lighthouse company productions claim the mix of genres: “we think it is well suited to the current period\, in which changes in ideas about the world are accompanied by a change in representations of this world. It is this aesthetics of science on the stage that we have been pursuing together for more than ten years” (Frédéric Aït-Touati & Bruno Latour). \nThursday\, Dec. 2\, 7:00 pm “Matters” Performance\, DramaTech Theatre (Duncan Evennou and Clémence Hallé)\nTickets: https://artsgatech.universitytickets.com/w/event.aspx?id=2052\nTrailer: https://vimeo.com/274043345 \nMatters is a solo that\, in a polyphonic assemblage\, gives shape and body to the archives of the Anthropocene Working Group’s inaugural meeting\, scheduled Friday\, October 17\, 2014 at 9:00 am on the stage of the House of World Cultures\, a contemporary performance institution located in Berlin. The geological hypothesis\, increasingly noisy in the art world\, inscribes the consequences of human impacts on their environments into the depths of earth time. Click here to view the trailer. \nWith Matters\, actor Duncan Evennou situates and then transforms the historical\, scientific and political voices of the members of the group\, playing with their words in all their sensitivity\, and moving from their narratives to their hesitations\, their silences or their derision\, plays with the frictions of thought when the sciences climb on the theater stage. Between the interstices of an increasingly disturbed performance appear the cracks of a dominant political discourse on the end of the world\, powerless in the face of the representations of long and inhuman time that the geologists invite to imagine. Yet it is only the end of a world. Can we hear others emerging from the hubbub of knowledge blurred by the urgency to act? \nFriday\, Dec. 3\, 7:00 pm “Moving Earths” Performance\, DramaTech Theatre (Duncan Evennou)\nTickets: https://artsgatech.universitytickets.com/w/event.aspx?id=2053 \nWhere to land? \nWhereas in 1610 we had to absorb the shock that “the earth moves”\, following Galileo’s discovery\, in 2021 we have to accept the much more surprising shock that the earth trembles and reacts to human actions to the point of disrupting all our development projects. \nWe invite the audience to test the hypothesis of a parallel between the era of the astronomical revolution and ours. Are we experiencing a world transformation as profound and radical as that of Galileo’s time? One thing is certain: we no longer know exactly what planet we live on\, nor how to describe it. It is not a single\, fixed and stable Earth\, but a multitude of planets that lie before us\, and which we must explore to find out which one to land on. \nBetween philosophy and theatre\, this production is a mix of genres: we think it is well suited to the current period\, in which changes in ideas about the world are accompanied by changes in representations of that world. It is this aesthetics of science on the stage that we have been pursuing together for more than ten years. \nClick here for more information on the events and speakers. \nThis event is part of the Franco-German series “Climate Crisis & Contemporary Culture” which seeks to explore the diverse means by which we communicate on our current climate crisis while exchanging experiences and art. It is designed by the Alliance Francaise d’Atlanta\, the Goethe-Zentrum Atlanta\, the Villa Albertine in Atlanta\, and the School of Modern Languages of Georgia Tech\, with the support of the Cultural Services of the Embassy of France in the US\, the Consulate of the Federal Republic of Germany in Atlanta\, the Franco-German Cultural Fund\, and DramaTech \n\n\n\n	From the archive:
