These are women who are tired of waiting for recognition from male-dominated spaces or validation from famous directors. For those who doubt their ability to go solo or take on bigger, bolder projects despite their deep understanding of theater.

What other participants say?

"I had some sort of inner revelation. The point of no return has been crossed. I don’t yet understand what exactly, but all the layers of consciousness have shifted. It’s purely a metaphysical experience!""To receive, to create, to accumulate, to impact. Working with Anja is an inspiring opportunity for an artist to grow inward, and consequently, in all other directions. I am grateful beyond measure!""Workshops like this are as therapeutic as possible. Scary, sometimes difficult, but in a completely accepting and safe environment. The result of such unusual work of the brain and body is always impressive. The feeling afterwards is similar to the euphoria!"
