Michèle Barbier was born in Algeria and came to France in 1962. She studied in France and Sweden, and while teaching in Sweden, met Josephine Baker and became her personal secretary. She became a singer, actress and wrote plays performed between 1973 and 1978 - then performed again starting in 2009.

Michèle was hired as a presenter for Circus Schreiber (Swedish) in 1974 and with Adolph Lauenburger, a German animal trainer, directed Cirque Aréna (1976- 1981). (Lauenburger created the Festival Carolingen de St Philbert de Grandlieu in 1978. She subsequently worked for France 2 with Bernard Langlois (émission Résistances).

In 1984 she created the Gala de la Press in which journalists and presenters from all fields prepared a circus show, modeled after the l'Union des Artistes and Gala des Grands Ecoles, to render a festive homage to different humanitarian causes each year, attracting viewers attention to their activities. Many important charitable organizations benefited. Michèlè has written several books and plays and received several awards. Her latest novel is "the circus" (Editions Riveneuvre), released in January 2011.

Sunday 2 October 2011

19h15 - 23h00ish

Our
Guest of Honor

David Burke
Author of "Writer's In Paris"
Filmmaker

Gertrude Stein came to her brother Leo's Paris atelier in 1903 where she began her lifelong passion for art and her writing career. Her writing style was deeply influenced by what the painters she admired were doing; particularly by Picasso. The experience of Picasso painting the portrait of her in 1906, signaled both the beginning of Cubism in Modern Art and and modern literature in her writing. Gertrude Stein had relationships with other writers during the 1920s: James Joyce, Ezra Pound, Sherwood Anderson and most notably, Ernest Hemingway.

About David Burke

He also worked on documentaries for ABC, NBC, PBS, and other companies in New York. Since 1986 he has been living in Paris and focusing on France in the books and articles he has written and some of the documentaries he and his wife Joanne Burke have been making, including their work in progress, Paris Noir: African Americans in the City of Light, about writers, artists, jazz musicians, and Josephine Baker in France in the period from 1918 to 1940.David and Joanne have been involved in numerous film projects.
