Notre histoire
Le théâtre Azyzah a été créé en 2010 par Vanessa Gendron (CA), actrice professionnelle, réalisatrice, éducatrice et clown. Après des années de travail dans les théâtres et les écoles d’Ottawa (CA) et de Prague (CZ), elle a réalisé un rêve d'enfance en créant sa propre troupe de théâtre pour enfants. En combinant ses compétences pédagogiques, de clown, de chant, de théâtre, de mouvement et de musique, elle a créé le «Théâtre Azyzah», basé sur son deuxième prénom. Nous tournons actuellement 8 pièces originales sur les aventures de Kiki & Mr.Suits dans un concept éducatif anglais. Notre devise est d'aider les enseignants et les étudiants à : MAKING The English Language a fun learning experience!

DAGMAR 'DÁŠA' JEGEROVA
Actress, educator, booking agent
Dagmar ‘Dáša’ Jegerova was born and raised in Prague. Having completed her acting training at the International Conservatory, she has worked with Prague Shakespeare Company and the Czech theatre Studio Hrdinů.
Dipping her toes into musical theatre, she became a singer and dancer for the original musical “Králové Avalonu” which opens at theatre Hybernia in the fall of 2015. She has also been cooperating with Prague Film School and FAMU, as well as playing the minor character of Beáta on TV Prima’s series “Priesta”.
Dáša loves to sing, dance, and entertain in all ways imaginable. Having worked as a summer camp counsellor in her teens, she loves kids. As her own inner child runs rampant most of the time, she strives for her performances to be as much fun for her young audience as they are for her.
HELENA BARTOŠOVÁ
Actress, educator
Helena Bartošová, was born and raised in Prague. Completed her Czech philology studies and became a freelance tutor for the Czech for foreigners language school.
In her teens, she performed with an improv theatre group and since became her passion. While performing with the group Improvariace, she finished her training in Drama Education and started to work with children through Drama and improv classes.
Helena is also a language teacher working mostly with adults students. She implements drama and improv techniques to her classes. Applied improvisation has become her new interest.
Performing for children is most of all great fun for Helena as she loves singing, and dancing with them. She is delighted to combine both her acting and teaching skills within the Azyzah Educational Project
