In collaboration with director ​​​​​Guido Martin Brandis she has created two dramatised shows: 'Love after the Storm' and ‘Rameau’s Roots & Mouret’s Madness’ both of which satisfy her particular love of french baroque music.When there is a lull in music making there is always the potting shed in which to pursue her second love of making ceramics.
