Delsarte Workshop: Breath Work and Performance
Breathing through our work, whether moving, speaking, singing, or just living, empowers and supports authenticity.

We will also work through a series of breathing exercises uniquely helpful for the needs of the voice.
Delsarte Workshop: Finding (And Keeping) Your Balance

For artists we also explore the relationship between balance, beauty, and freedom of expression.
