Summary

C'est l'histoire de deux voisines qui partagent une cour commune. Les deux femmes sont très différentes, voire antagonistes. L'une est plutôt ordonnée et organisée, tandis que l'autre est désordonnée et exubérante. Vous l'aurez compris, la deuxième dérange souvent la première ! Les voisines apprendront à communiquer pour finalement mieux se comprendre, et une lueur d'amitié finira même par apparaître entre ces deux femmes dans le fond peut-être pas si différentes que ça. Ce duo clownesque féminin saura vous faire rire à en pleurer!

Reason1

School outings help to make learning meaningful by bringing pupils into direct contact with the natural or cultural environment.

Reason2

They bring children face to face with reality, elicit astonishment and emotions, and offer new perspectives.

Reason3

They also draw on children’s social, motor and cognitive skills.

Reason4

They help children learn about living in a community and establishing relationships between adults and children who are different from those in the class.

Reason5

Outings are not simply something “extra,” but provide a unique opportunity for personal and collective reflection that will be meaningful for students throughout their years at school.

Steer away from the usual questions in order to share a moment with your child.

Hint1

With your face and/or body, express without using words what you felt during the outing. Now it’s my turn to express without words what I was feeling during the day.

Hint2

Before we turn out the lights, tell me something from the show that you’d like to dream about. Now it’s my turn to share an image or something positive that I experienced today and that I’d also like to dream about.

Hint3

If you were to recreate this show in your own way, how would you do it? Would you like to show it to me? If I were to act in it, what would you want me to do?

Sortir=Grandir is a project led by Théâtre Bouches Décousues, offering teachers tools to support their students during outings to the theater.
