Why CALYP

As with singers, the voice plays a very important role in theater. In my practice as an actress, theater professor, stage director, and drama therapist, the voice is an instrument that I often use with my patients or students. Like others in this association, we share creative and therapeutic work, often centered around the voice. I enjoy working with professionals from multiple creative and care-related fields, and as a drama therapist, I believe there is a way to unify our skills for the well-being of others.
