We ended with a workshop presentation at the Studio de creation of Théâtre français de Toronto made […]
They say you should be careful what you wish for… I dreamed of having a functional studio I could rehearse and create in but it seemed an impossibility for my tiny space. Then, I got chatting with theatre designer Hendrik Scheel, who is based out of Berlin. He came to Toronto to visit and see […]
