Theater empowers individuals and groups to be who they are, to stand for themselves with all their lights and shadows, and to create unthinkable connections through an environment that cultivates teamwork and empathy.

Theater helps become a great listener and storyteller at the same time, it cherishes creativity and nurtures imagination, tools that are useful far and beyond the realm of the stage, and last but not least, it’s fun!

Teaching theater to youth is not always a bed of roses. Discipline and establishing boundaries can sometimes eat too much time, but once the rules are clear and the teacher has understood the needs of the group, play arises! Simple theater games, dances, songs, dialogues, and stories will transform into a fun show or gently infiltrate everyday life.

Sharing my love for theater has been a natural thing to do wherever I lived – Denmark, the USA, and Italy. I discovered theater myself when I was a child, and those summer camps and yearlong classes are some of the moments of my life I will never forget.
