Les Arts Scéniques Theatre Group, Infofenster 9 - Health

Cary and Martina Rick founded Les Arts Scéniques in 2012 with the aim to provide acting classes and productions in Basel for young people and adults interested in broadening their thespian skills. They came into the studio to tell us about their classes, their upcoming production and how to join in on their drama lessons.

Martina is currently preparing to perform in the next Les Arts Scéniques production, “Pretty Women”, a two-women show to be directed by Cary Rick for which Martina is also arranging the music. The production will be on in January 2018, with the Basel venue still to be announced. Listen to the interview again here.

Nora and Aled are both actors taking part in Les Arts Scéniques drama classes aimed at English-speaking children. Both children have been a part of the classes for about a year and enjoy the variety that the drama classes offers them. Both Nora and Aled have performed in Les Arts Scéniques productions in Basel and will also perform again in 2017. Listen to the interview again here.
