Judith Barr
Professor

"Food and Quality of Life"

From Judith Barr:
"We seek comfort and companionship with food (Paris Soirees Dinners as an example) and how food is so central to who we are and our quality of life. What happens when, as a result of some illness or other condition, we have to change what we eat? How does this affect our quality of life and how can we measure that change?

Colleagues and I at Northeastern University have conducted a number of focus groups with all types of individuals across the country. It would be great to briefly describe the role of food and our work in this field and get some international flavor on what others think"

Judith Barr is Associate Professor and Director, National Education and Research Center for Outcomes Assessment

Patricia writes about being an expat:

"...As the years went by, I also realized that the feeling of being foreign and other, transcends even race. You are not part of their (French) culture. It doesn’t matter who you are or of what origin you are. You’re either French (in your head and behaviour), or you’re not. When I began to see that, I began to identify myself as an expat. The sum of being an American who lives in Paris, an African-American trying to find roots here, minus not being French – but seeing life internationally – on a large scale and permanently, equals my personal experience of being a expat."

paris-soirees

Our Guests of Honor:

Katrina Neal
Designer from India
"What Is India To Me"

Katrina Neal was born in Hyderabad, the capital city of the Indian state of Andra Pradesh, a meeting point for North and South India, also considered to be the gateway of Southern India.It's also a place where Hindus and Muslims have co-existed peacefully for centuries. She emigrated to Malaysia with her parents when she was only four years old, grew up and studied there.

Beautiful little Katrina was a real Tomboy so her Father encouraged her to go into the field of modeling and grooming. In 1991, she moved back to India, continued her career in modeling and absorbed, as an adult, Indian culture. For Katrina, it was a new awakening. She was inspired by her Indian origins and eventually was more interested in designing clothes "rather than just wearing them." She learned the design business while in India: choosing fabrics, cutting and stitching and remains inspired by the culture and colours of India. She specializes in silk and embroideries.

Our Guest of Honor:

Valerie Von

Financial Planner

.


"ADAPTING: Building An International Experience From Culture To Culture."

This will be an interactive evening. Valerie's experiences are relevant to all types of careers

Building an international experience from culture to culture: Adapting. Being willing and able to adapt is key to building a successful and joyful experience abroad. Valerie will speak about her own unique experience and how she became a financial planner in Paris.

Valerie was born and raised in Tahiti, French Polynesia, a tiny island of 200,000 inhabitants in the middle of the South Pacific Ocean. She attended University in southern California and then traded derivatives and options on the American Stock Exchange in New York. She then signed exclusive sales and signed contracts for wireless credit card technology to banking institutions in Beijing, China, developed and established 11 high-end innovative sports clubs and spas in Tokyo, Japan, and is now helping individual taxpayers take advantage of the 400 legal tax loopholes in France as a Financial Planner.

From Valerie:

"By the way, I am 30 years old and looking forward to hearing about your own unique experiences as well.!"

Our Guests of Honor:



Anthony Steyning

Author



Manda Djinn, Vocalist


Robert Jonathan Frost (John), Chef


Soiree Litteraire et Gastronomique


Anthony Steyning is the author of three acclaimed novels. He is also an essayist, critic and playwright whose plays have been performed in Montreal and New York.


From Anthony: "Over the years I seem to have developed a probing type of writing that digs very deep and very wide, curious to find out where the beauty and all the hurt began. First cutting through the crap, I frequently stumble upon how matters really stand in relation to each other--- issues, trends or conditions, ostensibly linked or not but in the end affecting us in a fashion that isn't always evident. Next, I attempt to relive my findings through half-real or fully fictional characters placed in some sort of dramatic context, recreating everything I've put my fingers on while attempting to involve the same core dynamics that produced these in the first place.In other words, real bits of history felt and re-lived from the sidewalks up.". His first novel, "The Vortical Man," was published in Paris and led to Anthony meeting Lawrence Durrell, who became a supporter of his work.His latest novel is "Budapest My Love". Anthony Steyning currently resides in southern Spain. Visit: www.AnthonySteyning.com


Manda Djinn, jazz and gospel song stylist, former Folies Bergère star,
composer and playwright, is in Paris since 1984. Aside from concerts
around France, she can be heard monthly at jazz club, the Swan Bar on
Bld. du Montparnasse. Coming dates: March 3rd & April 28th, Le Petit
Journal Montparnasse, March 9th. See website for details on these and

other dates: http://mandadjinn.free.fr

John gave a talk in January about his adventures as a pioneer American chef, owning an American restaurant in London, "Boston Lobster Live". near Buckingham Palace during the 90's.
