Matchs d'impro en français, s'il-vous-plaît !

Des élèves aventureux ont décidé d'accompagner M. Chioini dans une nouvelle aventure d'improvisation en français. Empruntant des éléments au jeu de hockey sur glace et de l'improvisation, les élèves continuent une longue tradition théâtrale et scolaire. Les rencontres hebdomadaires iront jusqu'aux vacances de décembre. Une nouvelle session reprendra au retour, en janvier.
