Hello Reader,

A very quick update for those interested in courses, workshops and events.

🎭 Upcoming Workshops – June 2025

I’ve got two exciting workshops coming up in Germany this June — if you feel like diving into some bold, physical, character-driven work, I’d love to see you there!

What we’ll explore:
▪️ Physical and vocal training for performers

Big, Bold & Grotesque

Theatre Alte Wursterei, Cologne | 20–22 June

Discover the joy of bigger-than-life characters, physical storytelling, and improvisation. This workshop is designed to unlock your physical creativity and expand your character repertoire.
