Her influences:
The reflections and the teaching of Stanislavski, or what is now known as 20th century realistic theatre. This
type of theatre focuses on the true portrayal of emotions that emerge from deep within a person’s stomach,
as this is the center of the human body.
The school of "Open Theatre ", in which there are exercises to develop in the student: self-respect, respect for
others, self-confidence and the abilities to empathize with others.
The European school of “Commedia dell'arte”, founded in the 16 th century, focusing on the styles of:
pantomime, song and dance, with improvisation and the wearing of traditional masks.
Jacques Lecoq methodology: neutral mask, larval mask, Theatre Clown.
Her training:
From T.N.S. (National Theatre in Strasbourg, France), a classical text based drama course teaching stage
performances.
Intensive courses with André Pomarat and his team of the T.J.P., Strasbourg. This style utilizes full and half
facial masks to complement self-expression through the balance of the body and breathing (as per the
exercises of Meyerhold) as well as vocal training.
She was apprentice to Fredj Cohen, a famous stage-director and playwright (who also worked with Ariane
Mnouchkine). As assistant director to Fredj Cohen, she was taught to direct a complete play from conception
to performance including playwriting.

Her method of teaching students:
One third of the total workshop time will be dedicated to experimenting through various theatrical exercises.
Students will be invited to brain-storm their ideas to create their own stage performances. This method
ensures that all students become active and involved in the entire process of staging a performance, with the
emphasis on preparation and creation of the show rather than just the final performance itself.
Feed-back and assessment of the progress of the students will be given to the necessary authorities of the
establishment.
Additional qualified staff may be required to help if the students have any particular disabilities.
