On release of ‘The Epic’ one reviewer noted, “she sings as if she wants everyone to sing along”. There it is.
Singing raises immune markers by 240%. “Participation in movement and theatre” is one of the few proven remedies for PTSD. Stage work isn't religious or 'spiritual' yet its gifts are on a plane with the miraculous. We hold it 'sacred'. Cure, preventative, joyful, symbiotic, exponential. Training or none, raising the voice, moving the body, telling a story or joke is universal affordable care. Professional skill is characterized by 'knowing what's needed and delivering it on time'.
"Truly... unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven". -- Jesus, Christ
Lyricist and lead vocalist with Grammy Award-winner Kamasi Washington's acclaimed band. Accomplished actor and educator. Unique careers in music and theatre and a vocation instructing players in the fundamental working stage principles through creative, collaborative 'play'.
World-class stage training for novice and professional. Sophisticated, efficacious vocabulary; it can be learned like a child learns to speak.
‘Ms. Quinn, do you really think you can dance and sing your way thru life?’
(The novice's tone suggested no one could!) Anyone can; received as children welcome all players; brought in by hand and given, one heart to another, blueprint for the space.
