“The classes offered by Sarah Kane opened up a new world for me: the world of Creative Speech! This approach helped me understand how to trust my body when I speak, rather than judging myself by analyzing too much and getting stuck in my mind. If there's one thing I understand now it's this: your body will always tell you if what you are doing is right or not. So it is a joy to learn to trust oneself in this way!”

E.E.- Speech Workshop on Storytelling
"First of all, may I heartily thank you for the most enjoyable fortnight in Moscow and your introduction (for me at least) of the Creative Speech about which I knew nothing. Michael Chekhov work was on my list of things to explore and so when I saw that you would be working in conjunction with Andrei at the Demidov Summer School I signed up immediately. What a double bonus. I feel so inspired by the work and am still riding the high of it all following my return. I take away from your sessions so many ideas not only for my own work as an actor, but to help the youngsters I teach to find another way into their speech and drama. As an over-thinker, it was just what I needed to help me get out of my own way and find the impetus physically and you have set me off on the path hungry for more. Much resonated with attempts I've made to broaden the more traditional approach I've followed in voice, so it was particularly enlightening to find that there are more effective ways to integrate it with the experience I have gained over the years. You pitched it perfectly and I was as fascinated by your process of teaching as I was by the new material - there was sufficient repetition to begin to embed some of the patterns to engage with the body and voice and yet we came away with a veritable toolkit of extended work to take into our own practice. I will be going through my notebook again soon and refining my scribbles. I remain very interested in seeing how this overlaps with Demidov - it clearly does because both derive from internal impulses that appear first in the body, but quite how and why I'm keen to explore further. It also provided such a helpful balance as the Demidov work is very sedentary and it was good to move. So my very grateful thanks for your skill and encouragement and here's to more in London with Andrei (both of them perhaps)."
“Un grand merci à Sarah Kane , effectivement.”

“I discovered that we must move, for inspiration to come in – not to think, but rather, to train one’s body to think, and respond.”
