TEACHING STATEMENT:
“Starting with young people’s openness to play, the acting techniques, exercises and games I use expand the students’ imagination, awareness, and develop their concentration, collaboration and expressivity. To this end, I work as a guide who listens to her pupils and helps them find the processes that will start and sustain them on their way.”
