She toured with various performances in Romania but also abroad, her latest experience being at the Venice Carnival, early spring 2025.
The passion for music, performing and musical theatre lead her to start her phd studies back in 2024, her subject being based on musical theatre. Until now, she has published three articles and attended conferences, organised and coordonated various workshops.
The human voice is a living instrument, versatile, dependent on each individual’s body and emotions, being easily influenced by various external factors. Working in the indistry she discovered how important it is for a performer to understand his voice and know how to take care of it and work with it.
The opportunity to speak about the human voice and various ways of training it, methods that have changed over the years is an important chance for her to see if what she discovers can help musical theatre performers manage their voice during a busy schedule of eight shows a week.
