Express yourself on stage in English while having fun, from ages 4 to 12!


Children learn to express themselves in English through the tools of theatre. Through play and interaction with their peers, they build confidence, develop fluency, and strengthen their social skills. Budding performers practise language through games, songs, and short scenes.

Bilingual teaching – Classes are taught in both English and French by fully bilingual instructors trained in the Cours Florent Jeunesse teaching method.

Through carefully designed exercises, children learn to:

  • Interact with others confidently
  • Identify their thoughts and impulses, and express them clearly in English
  • Feel at ease speaking in public
  • Develop their creativity
  • Improve their concentration
  • Better understand and manage their emotions

Who is this course for?

Children aged 4 to 12, regardless of their level of fluency in English or French.

Children have a remarkable ability to learn languages quickly and to retain new vocabulary, expressions, and idioms. Unlike adults, who may be hesitant about making mistakes, young children are often uninhibited and willing to try. For this reason, Cours Florent considers children as young as four to be ideal candidates for this course. At this age, the brain’s flexibility makes it easier to absorb the sounds and structures of a new language. In immersive environments, children naturally take in the language around them.

Please note: Children do not need to be bilingual to take part. Our teachers adapt to each student’s level of understanding and may switch between English and French when necessary.

The programme

Several modules are offered throughout the year.

Designed by the Cours Florent Jeunesse teaching team and based on proven methodologies, they allow children to progress at their own pace.

Introduction to theatre games, techniques, and tools, with a focus on basic acting through the exploration of emotions and impulses.

Guided creative work and visualisation inspired by a range of media (music, nursery rhymes, stories, and age-appropriate theatrical texts), alongside memorisation exercises and stagecraft, leading to the creation of short scenes for performance.

Introduction to basic storytelling techniques, enabling students to perform short narratives or poetry, both individually and as part of an ensemble.

Working from visual materials (advertising, cinema, and theatre posters), students develop skills in image analysis, imagination, and narrative construction. They create an original theatrical story and slogan, culminating in the presentation of scenes inspired by the chosen material.

Students select, learn, and explore a scene from the contemporary repertoire for young audiences, leading to rehearsals and a public presentation of their work.
