Dis Donc! is a brand new French language drama group, taking place in Colchester’s fabulous Headgate Theatre Rehearsal Studio.

Join in Dis Donc! informal and fun sessions, devised and led by local multilingual creative education specialist, Mary Pullen Deacon, founder and director of Line and Language.

Mary, is a fluent French speaker and highly experienced educator with three decades of experience of teaching languages, combining drama and literature, to inspire, enrich and enthuse her students.

During the Dis Donc! sessions, you will have the opportunity to practise and develop your French language skills in sound and speech; warm up with (gentle) movement exercises; engage in improvised and scripted acting activities; explore Francophone culture and literature; and collaborate in the creation of short and relaxed performance pieces.

Dis Donc! sessions are suitable for participants with a minimum GCSE / CEFR B1 or equivalent level of French language speaking skills.

The workshop fee includes specialist teaching in French language and drama; one to one attention during the session; and light refreshments.

Loose fitting, comfortable clothing and a bottle of water are advised.
