I adapt my courses and workshops to the background and needs of the students. After these are established a syllabus is written down and handed to the students with bibliography. However  my courses remain flexible and sensitive to the dynamics of participation, interaction and involvement of the students.

Materials chosen as well are adapted to the budget available. Excellent results are obtained using simple and inexpensive props
