We hope the start of your year has been bright and full of promise 🎉
Dear friends,
Sarah Kane has begun the year actively, performing The Apocalypse and leading a range of online courses designed to deepen the performer’s relationship with sound, speech, and expression. These sessions explore how vowels, consonants, and vocal colour can transform communication and character. She has also been offering workshops focused on character physicality through the work of Yevgeni Shvarts’ play The Dragon.
Recent audiences have shared generous responses to The Apocalypse:
“It was a really fine performance of a powerful piece and all the performers carried it in a truly appropriate manner.”- GB
“It was, well, Apocalyptic, strange and beautiful. I thought the performers were all wonderful.”- NN
As we move into the coming months, we are delighted to share what Performing Arts International has in store and how you can get involved.
