"..The group was truly awesome, incredibly diverse, patient, supportive, engaging, and engaged throughout the workshop. There was diversity in disciplines and nationalities. We all learned so much from each other."

Fischerová Ellen, Switzerland

"The program was an eyes-openning experience, I have gained new ideas about performanceand how to create it, how to view it and how to internalize movement and text and followingly express this perception outside to the audience."

"Overall, once again, it was an incredible experience for the mind, the soul, the body and it filled me with the energy and inspiration to work hard on the craft, stay focused and disciplined. These times".

Luches J. Huddleston, jr., USA / Germany

After experiencing this workshop I know that the possibilities of teaching and coaching a person to grow and understand their potential in movement is endless. I have learned that just with simple tools, one can make a player grasp the understanding of their body and achieve externally and internally a feeling of space, time and rhythm through movement.

"...thank you for giving me the opportunity to put on Daddy Dear. Thank you for allowing me to meet people as passionate as me form every corner of the world. Thank you for showing me various techniques from all around the world. Thank you for creating a safe, healthy, open environment to let us have fun and explore. Thank you for creating such conferences, labs, and workshops and bringing together artist form all over the world."

"Now, here is a lightbulb moment that alone was worth every single cent I paid for the course – ...This exercise evolved as we worked with our monologues – I can really see how this approach of physical target, active verb as action can help elevate a performance without the draining intellectualisation of Stanislavski’s “what do I want, How do I feel? Why?” – will certainly be using it in my work".

Lorna Strand,
USA

"You changed my entire approach to acting and directing that my students and I will treasure forever.

It's wonderful to see that you continue to spread your technique to theatre artists from around the world."

Sasapin Siriwanij,

Indeed, this experience is one of the greatest rewards in my life...If I had not decided to come, I cannot imagine how many years it would have taken me to witness such things and to have already so many connections with theater artists around the world".

"We had enchanting group of people, all coming from different countries, cultures, speaking different languages and still working together. It was so good to exchange ideas, suggestions and skills in between the classes and so good to meet lovely artistic people from all parts of the world. It was indeed a very special experience"

Sarah Holmes,

"The limited emphasis on verbal communication shifted my learning from cognitive to experiential. It was an absolutely fascinating experience."

Donna Maria Banicevich Gera, New Zealand

"As I look back on the program I realise I’ve taken the first steps in my journey to develop a coherent way of working, and of thinking like a director. I’ve been shown the key to form, style, atmosphere and the emotional palette in contemporary performance. I know now the job of a director is to hold the attention of the spectator ‘always’, and to think about what makes the spectator respond ‘constantly’"
