My 60th birthday and first live concert took place on December 9th 2017 in a club in Paris called Les Dessous du Panthéon.
I sang a dozen jazz and latino songs. I am very thankful to the three wonderful musicians who accompanied me that evening and did so with such talent: Fabio Deldongo (composer/songwriter, pianist, guitarist and arranger), David Picard (bass) and Sébastien Fauqué (percussions). Thank you so much, Gentlemen, for that wonderful evening. Please click on any of the pictures here above if you wish to listen to us... Merci |

I participated in 4 "100% Comedy" acting workshops from August 2016 to December 2017, orchestrated by Eric Laugérias and Vincent Varinier
from La Compagnie des Hauts de Scène.
I had the opportunity to play many different parts :
"Catherine" (a sketch by Sylvie Joly), "Odette", from the movie Ca n'empêche pas les sentiments, directed by Jean-Pierre Jackson,
"Caroline" from the play Gros Chagrins by Georges Courteline, "Irma Lambert" from Jean Giraudoux's play La Folle de Chaillot,
"Thérèse" from the play Le Père Noël est une ordure by Jean-Marie Poiré.
A great new experience for me :)

Gilles and I had good fortune to play a sketch called "La Répétition" (the rehearsal).
It was created in 1977 by Guy Bedos and Sophie Daumier and it was performed in 1991 by Guy Bedos and Muriel Robin
at the televised Ceremony for the Molières (the French National Theatre Awards).
It was the first time the two artists collaborated. This experience eventually led to a duet show: Bedos / Robin.

Between March and December 2018 I participated in 3 intensive "Acting in front of the camera" workshops directed by Hubert Gillet.
Hubert Gillet is the director of "In your arms", a French film with Michèle Laroque and Martin Loizillon;
he also directed « Lune », a short film that has received more than twenty national and international awards.
Hubert Gillet participated as an actor in many TV movies as well as in feature films
such as "La sentinelle" by Arnaud Desplechin, "Nikita" by Luc Besson,etc...
These great workshops are intended for any actors wishing to sharpen and polish their work in front of the camera.
Hubert Gillet’s objective is to give actors tools to help them go beyond what a director asks for and make suitable character proposals.
Well beyond directing actors, the idea is to put them on tracks, to provoke them to make them exist and live with utmost sincerity;
help them grasp the feeling of urgency on film sets and prepare for it, explain to them how to work on a set, how to find their place and make an impact.
Influenced by the cinematic style of directors such as Kaurismaki, Ken Loach, the Dardenne Brothers, part of the workshops also consisted
in exploring the actors’ expressions all along sequence shots, closely watched by the camera -
the goal being to capture the "truth" of the human soul in its most authentic expression.
*These interesting workshops took place in Rue Saint Roch; Saint Roch is considered to be the patron saint of artists.

I had a great time at the 45th Short Film Night
"Ce n'est pas la taille qui compte" (It isn't the size that counts"),
a series of evening events dedicated to short films, organized and presented by director and actor Sergio Do Vale
at the Cinema Les 5 Caumartin in Paris (July 9th 2018).
A dozen short films were projected, all very different, all of a very high quality.
The film makers were there and shared with us information concerning the making of their movies.
A very interesting evening, I enjoyed it a lot. A must-attend event.

I was able to meet scriptwriters, actors and I even ended up speaking German with a French director
who declaimed for me Heinrich Heine's most famous poem "Die Lorelei".
Aaaaahhh, how beautiful, how intense, what an evening!!

I love Sport
I have played a lot of sports in my life, a lot.
But the only one that I still practice regularly is swimming, a sport you can easily practice well into a ripe old age :)
And when I am on vacation somewhere where there is a good size pool, I swim 1,000 meters early every morning.
Sport keeps you in shape and lifts your spirits.

(all kinds of music types as you may know...) |
I (try to) keep abreast of what is going on in this world by reading the press in 6 languages: French, English, German, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese. Mostly on my mobile phone and on my computer. I also enjoy watching TV (the news, movies, investigative reports and documentary films in particular). |
And I love cinema
(mostly romance, comedy-drama or dramedy, screwball comedy, and adventure films). |
My favourite movie?
Hum, difficult to say, I have seen so many... but if I had to pick out only one...,
it would be Les Choristes (The Chorus)
by French film maker Christophe Barratier, such a beautiful movie, so well done, so touching.
A great cast: Gérard Jugnot, François Berléand, Kad Merad, Jean-Baptiste Maunier, Marie Bunel, and many more.
The kind of movie that lifts your spirit. Inspired and inspiring. Just beautiful.

I am a market research consultant; I conduct what is called "qualitative market research". More specifically I am a moderator, an analyst and a translator.

I gather and compile all the information, and then I analyse all the insights
in order to produce reports containing actionable recommendations for my clients.
This job enables me to meet people from all walks of life, to work on a large variety of topics, in a variety of places and settings and in many sectors.
It is a job that fits me like a glove; I really love it, it is wonderfully enriching.

I love myself
Loving oneself is not easy for some of us. It has taken me a long time.
However, the time it takes does not matter; what matters is to get there at some point.
Only when we love ourselves can others feel our love and respond to it.

I love to smile and laugh and make fun of myself...
I tend to prefer to make fun of myself rather then to make fun of others for we are all flawed, aren't we?
I also love to play different parts, to put myself in other people's shoes to see how it feels. I find it both fun and interesting.
Interesting because it helps me understand them better.

Ce que tu as donné
Au lieu de le garder
Dans des coffres rouillés

Une fleur oubliée
Qui ne s'est pas fanée
Ce que tu as donné
En d'autres fleurira
Celui qui perd sa vie
Un jour la trouvera
Il restera de toi
Ce que tu as chanté
À celui qui passait
Sur son chemin désert
Il restera de toi
Une brise du soir
Un refrain dans le noir
Jusqu'au bout de l'hiver
Ce que tu as chanté

Celui qui perd sa vie
Un jour la trouvera
Il restera de toi
Ce que tu as offert

Un matin de soleil
Il restera de toi
Ce que tu as perdu
Que tu as attendu
Plus loin que tes réveils
Ce que tu as offert
En d'autres revivra
Celui qui perd sa vie
Un jour la trouvera
Il restera de toi
Une larme tombée
Un sourire germé
Sur les yeux de ton cœur
Il restera de toi
Ce que tu as semé
Que tu as partagé
