BEHIND LUMI
The meaning behind Lumi is finding your light. In the theatre, we always want to find our light. Not just mentally and spiritually but also physically. When performing, you always want to find your light and be seen. So in finding my name for my studio, I wanted it to revolve around light. When I close my eyes, I love dreaming of being under the stage lights. It a safe place that takes you away from the world and into a beautiful creative place.
Luminaries means: a person who inspires or influences others. Which resounds so much with what we do in the theatre. We inspire others through story telling and influence our audiences by the stories we bring to life. Lumi is short for luminaries.
Luminaries is also a European term for lanterns which are stage lights. I want Lumi to be a place for students to find and step into their light on or off stage.

VOICE
Key elements of singing include; breathing, phonation, resonation and articulation. Songs in a musical are what brings the storytelling to life at moments when emotions are heightened and can no longer be expressed in only words. Musical theatre singers are widely trained and versatile singers, trained in vocal styles from rock (RENT), contemporary (Dear Evan Hansen) to classical (Phantom of the Opera).
