Our Guest Of Honor

Bernadette Plageman
Celebrated Mime Performer

It'll Be Interactive And Fun!

ABOUT BERNADETTE PLAGEMAN:

Bernadette Plageman got interested in mime just before reaching the age of three. From then on, she would carefully observe every adult in her surroundings until she could decipher from the outside, who they were in the inside. In this universal language of gestures and expressions that crosses over every border and brings down barriers, she came to realize how much there is to "say" and explore.

Originally from Philadelphia, Bernadette went to Paris to study with the great mime masters of the time. Traveling back and forth between both cities, she also spent some time in New York, performing and studying at The Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance and at The American Academy of Dramatic Art. Here in Paris, she has written two theses at the Sorbonne, one on Etienne Decroux's School, the father of Modern Mime, and another on Buster Keaton, the Mime. Performing mime internationally and creating original mime pieces, has led her to stage Mime Plays for humaitarian causes.

Bernadette Plageman will perform a selection of excerpts from her repertoire, which includes over twenty major mime shows. A short excerpt from her film “Le Mime autrement” will be screened, showing computer technology interplaying with Mime.

From Patricia: It’s interactive. You and I will learn a few mime techniques (moves) too!

FROM PETRONELA:

Today society needs people who can think creatively, who create innovative ideas, go beyond the apparent boundaries and are able to see old problems from a new perspective. Businesses need these people too.

The problem is, we are currently facing a global creativity gap! A study released in 2012 (Adobe® Global Benchmark Study) revealed that only 1 in 4 people believe they are living up to their own creative potential.

A Slovak expatriate living in Paris for 9 years, she decided to democratize creative thinking in business and education. She designs and delivers CREATIVITY SPARKLING programs for international groups, corporations universities and business schools all over Europe. With 11 years experience in international facilitation, she has led seminars and learning projects in 12 different.countries. She has a visual blog called '365 Creativity Facilitators' and is one of the co-authors of the forthcoming: 'My Paris Story - Living, Loving and Leaping without a net' book that is coming to bookshops this April.

Happy Hour. Scott's Presentation. Dinner and Dessert. More Great Socializing.

Sunday 9 February 2014
19h00 - 22h30ish

Our Guest Of Honor:

Scott Haine
Author. Historian Of Food And Sociability.

Scott is the author of “The Thinking Space”, (newly published by Ashgate).
His talk will focus on café life and creativity.

The Café As A Cultural Institution In Paris, Italy And Vienna

The cafe is not only a place to enjoy a cup of coffee, it is also a space - distinct from its urban environment - in which to reflect and take part in intellectual debate. Since the eighteenth century in Europe, intellectuals and artists have gathered in cafes to exchange ideas, inspirations and information that has driven the cultural agenda for Europe and the world. Without the café, would there have been a Karl Marx or a Jean-Paul Sartre?

The café as an institutional site has been the subject of renewed interest amongst scholars in the past decade, and its role in the development of art, ideas and culture has been explored in some detail. However, few have investigated the ways in which cafés create a cultural and intellectual space which brings together multiple influences and intellectual practices and shapes the urban settings of which they are a part.

Scott Haine is a San Francisco Bay Area Historian of Food and Sociability. He currently teaches at the University of Maryland University College. His previous books include the outstanding: "The World of the Paris Café: Sociability among the French Working Class, 1789-1914."

Scott's A Great Speaker! Look forward to it. - Patricia

From Shari:

"The French say that foreigners can never truly “become” French--no matter what legal status is inscribed upon what identity papers they carry around in their France-based wallets. Nor might newly minted citizens or official residents wish to swap their own cultural manners and mentalities for those of the local waiter who serves them their morning café au lait et croissant (to say nothing of totally being able to). But if you’re here long enough, your adaptation mirrors, those Escher drawings where columns of black geese or fish on the left fly or swim straight across the page, migrating and mutating by imperceptible degrees, melting into and finally becoming their white counterparts on the right. To a greater or lesser degree, whether you expected to or not, one day you realize that you’re crossing to the other side. How do you know that you’ve arrived?

We're going to have fun with this one!

Shari Leslie Segall will come with her newly released, highly in-demand little book, 90+ Ways You Know You're Becoming French (co-authored with FUSAC co-owner Lisa Vanden Bos and beautifully illustrated by Hungarian artist Judit Halasz). Participants will call out a number. Shari will turn to that "way of becoming French" in the book and read it. Participants will then reflect upon and discuss how "French" they have (or haven't) become on this particular point. (There have already been on-line "competitions" among readers as to how many becoming-French criteria they have met.

Books will be available for signing and purchase (with two euros off the selling price for Paris Soirées participants).

Shari Leslie Segall, in Paris since 1985 and author of France-themed books and articles, teaches English and cross-cultural communication at the prestigious Institut des Etudes Politiques (Sciences Po) and at the French Military Academy. She is the founding director of Foreign Affairs, which provides linguistic and cross-cultural training and creates English-language documents for executives.
