Thank you Danny and Salila for creating an intense, challenging and nurturing environment for me to find and become my diamond.

Your Chekhov course is daring, it's through, challenging, entertaining (Danny, your talks are inspirational and a joy to watch and listen to) and creative. Your obvious dedication to this craft is a true giving to artists.

Thanks

The tools I need to release my pent up potential were given generously with gentle guiding. Thanks for the fire.

"As a young actor, I feel that it is sometimes easy to get distracted by many things, i.e. 'am I any good?' , 'Am I ever going to be successful' , 'How do others see me?' etc. As a result our energies are being wasted on these questions, instead of focusing on the craft. Chekhov helps you grow, expand and open yourself as an actor and human being. It's like a light bulb being turned on inside and Chekhov helps you find the switch!"

This reminds me of a movie I loved as a child, "The Never Ending Story". People had stopped dreaming so "the Nothing" was destroying the land of Fantasia. When people began to dream/imagine again Fantasia grew more and more elaborate, beautiful and there was no end to how amazing it could be. Now I know why I loved that movie so much!

I can truly say this course has been my savior. I was seriously having doubts about whether to continue in this profession. Feeling dis-empowered, dis-enchanted and dis-engaged and dis- course has taken the dis away. I feel confident. Truly confident. I have been reunited with my passion and am hungry to grow, learn and experience the universe of possibility.I feel like a child again. I feel lighter. I want to thank Salila and Dany with a showering of gifts, yet, I feel as though the gift is in having helped one person. Emerson spoke of success as being as simple as making a person smile or to know that because of you one person has breathed easier. Thank you for your love and care and passion. I have breathed easier. It is a joyful feeling 'Standing on the shoulders of giants' and Chekhov truly was a Giant. We continue the work.

With love and thanks,

James Rees - Actor / Australia


"This has been an incredibly empowering and inspiring experience for me. I feel like I've learnt how to fly. I have ignited the fire of my imagination and discovered that my potential as a mercurial, creative, energetic being is endless. I have learnt to trust my instincts and am free of linear expectations. Best of all, I know that this is just the beginning of the journey, and am looking forward to the continual discovery of my body and spirit as a joyous artist. Thanks guys."

"Thank you, I've had a great time here exploring, playing, feeling and just 'being'. Thanks Daniele for your constant energy and professionalism... I believe teaching to be an incredible skill (to know information is one thing... to disseminate it is another). You did it with style, good energy and passion! It is very infectious. Je suis tres contente."

Therese Mavros - Actor / Australia


This was a very empowering course for me...both personally and professionally. There were many tools given which open the doors to creativity and imagination and the embodiment of feelings and ideas. My body feels alive and awake!!! The course was totally energizing and I feel I have gained a new confidence about who I am as a person and who I am as an actor. The "Creative Critic" is so practical and positive - it definitely will be a daily must! Thank you Daniele and Salila for your gentleness and support. You provided an environment that encouraged growth and strength and I am very grateful. Love and thanks,
