The Fabulations' Team
Jane Fabulet-Roberts, Founder and Co-Director
For more than fifteen years, Jane's passion has been live performance theater. She attended the Jacques Lecoq International School of Theatre in Paris and embarked on a multi-faceted live theatre career. Jane taught drama and thrived as an actress, artistic director and administrator for several companies in France before settling in Portland, Oregon. With teaching French as a second language as another interest, it was natural for Jane to combine these passions, successfully teaching drama and French in various Portland French programs and schools. She is also currently the Children's program manager and a teacher for children and adults at the Alliance Française de Portland.
Carine Zimber, Founder and Co-Director
Carine found her true passion in teaching after she moved to the United States a decade ago. Building on her own language learning experience and her background in French and linguistics – she holds a bachelor degree in French Literature – she developed a deep interest in the language acquisition process. Since 2003, Carine has been teaching French to both children and adults. When she is not teaching, she practices her patience and diplomatic skills with her two young children.
Carole Dieulangard, Assistant Director
After many years of studying theater, dance, and music, Carole attended a business school for arts in Bordeaux. She came to Portland to apply her management skills and to teach drama. Carole interned at NWCT before joining the Fabulations team.
Marc Bescond, Composer and Performer
Born in Brittany, France, Marc has studied music since his childhood. His first instrument was the harp.
During those years he had the privilege to study with Bernard Cazauran, principal bass at the Paris National Orchestra. Marc has played bass in several French orchestras and chamber music ensembles.
He arrived in the USA in 1998 and settled in Oregon in 1999. Since then he has played with different orchestras in Portland and Vancouver. He is currently principal bass at the Portland Columbia Symphony.
When he doesn’t play music, Marc likes to hike around the Portland area with his wife and daughter.
