French Professor Stages
Multi-Media Work on Verlaine
The life and work of one of France's greatest poets is the subject of a multimedia program called "Verlaine: Muse and Music Maker" by French Professor Christine Renaudin at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 20-22 in PE 1. Renaudin, an accomplished dancer and actress as well as an associate professor of French at SSU, brings together French and English, dance, theater, visuals, instrumental music and vocals in a unique poetic collage that stages a selection of the nineteenth-century French poet's work.
Renaudin sees "Verlaine: Muse and Music Maker" as a rare opportunity to combine her expertise in French literature and her skills in the performing arts. The show also marks Renaudin's debut as a director.
"Verlaine" also represents Sonoma State University's contribution to the Year Of Languages, an initiative of the American Council for Teachers of Foreign Languages, as well as to National French Week, sponsored by the American Association of Teachers of French. Tickets are $12 general, $10 faculty, staff and $6 students and will be available at the door. FULL STORY
