“You don’t teach what you know. You don’t teach what you want. You teach what you are.” Jean Jaurès.

Jérémie’s pedagogy is buid on kindness and respect. He aims to tell stories, to re-enforce selfconfidence and self listenning. - through games, exercises, improvisations, and dramatic texts.

To play theater is to believe or to make others believe that one is another self.
The theater, which is a form of play, only starts when individuals are involved as characters in the space of fiction.

Players finally discover a singular space where imagination and creativity can be explored inside a group.

For Jérémie:
- Play is doing: before saying or learn a text, the player performs actions.
- Play is experiencing pleasure and interest: Pleasure to be moved, to laugh or to cry.
- Play is also being respectful, caring on the part of the viewer.

 Jérémie is graduated in theater and artistic pedagogy at Univeristé Sorbonne Nouvelle de Paris, and teaches since 11 years in different structures or schools such as Sciences-Po Paris, ESJ (School of Journalism), EHESS, Théâtre de la Ville de Paris and for companies such as Candela and Cours Acte 2 . He also provides public oral expression classes for firms and for individuals.

Acting is the search of the meeting with the other, how to tell him/her a stonning story. Theatre is a place where we can share a commun world, a commun dream. Here, we can touch to the intimacy of each of us.

They are there, the Oscur, Moullard, Gloton, Faitard and collateral branches, around a banquet. They celebrate a new peace, they are enthusiastic about the future, they settle old scores, they forget the horror they remember the dead, they drink and they eat, they try to seal cracks ... Lives of ordinary men punctuated by words, simple existences inventories where the miseries and joys are debated daily , are the sounds of intimacy that invites us this piece of Noëlle Renaude.

Chop Suey, Françoise Cadol
Director: Valia Boulay
Assistant Director : Jérémie Kalil
From the painting of Edward Hopper : or how come alive before our eyes the four characters sitting in a bar in Chicago in 1930 in a deep depression. A play whose atmosphere is reminiscent of Tennessee Williams. Chop Suey is the story of three women and one man who will realize that they are the characters of a painting and someone looks at them: a spectator. Chop Suey is also the story of a look. The look of the spectator who enters the canvas and makes the canvas his mental landscape. Between these realities, there is a bridge. A bridge on which laws are going to play and wants of each other.
