"Maria workshop was intelligent, funny, engaging and available to all. Maria is a sharp and natural listener, and with the workshop she gives others an opportunity to explore freely a theme, whether with your physicality, conversation or acting. You leave as satisfied as after you have acted in, or seen, a very good plah."

For Change
For Change
I have worked with oppressed and stigmatized groups with a vision to achieve personal, social and political change. These groups include people with disabilities, mental health issues, traumatic experiences and abusive pasts. My objectives include strengthening confidence and giving a voice to those not heard.
I use the wide spectrum of applied drama techniques with elements of
psychodrama, socio-drama and drama therapy.

"I thought Maria was a superb practitioner - super-organised, very positive and incredibly patient with us all. As the day progressed people felt safe to open up more and share more of themselves and their ideas."
