Beginning Wednesday, July 1 at 8:30 a.m. Central Time, you will not be able to log in or create an account while we transition to our new student portal. Access is expected to be restored by the end of the day on Monday, July 6.
If you have started any forms in your MyIESabroad student portal, please complete and submit them by end of day Tuesday, June 30. Submitted forms will carry over automatically. Any forms that are started but not submitted by June 30 will not transfer—but don't worry, you'll still have access to the same forms in the new portal on July 6.
For more details, please review our student system upgrade information. Want a heads-up when the new portal is live? Fill out our interest form. Thank you for your patience during this transition. We're excited to welcome you into the new portal and continue supporting you every step of the way.
Bertrand Pineau holds a Master's degree in Lettres Modernes, in Research into Post-Exotic Literature and Imaginary Books. He also trained in the field of theater arts as a lighting designer, playwright, director and actor. In 2013, he staged his first creations, mixing literary and artistic genres. He has been teaching children's and adult theater workshops for the past several years, and his teaching methods combine technical and emotional rigor with a focus on the pleasure of acting: theater is first and foremost a form of entertainment that requires a degree of seriousness.
Working with IES Abroad since 2013 as Assistant Director, Rehearsal Director and Technician to Mr. Henri Mariel, he took up the torch in September 2018. Among the themes worked on in previous years: the world of fairy tales, the tragic figure, utopia and dystopia, comedy and the absurd, and epic texts revisited. He is a Member of the Ecrivains Associés du Théâtre, Paris and Loire-Atlantique.
