“Drowned in Sounds” is an intensive program for those who want to develop their musical, vocal, dance, and stage skills under the guidance of Maja Korbiel. It’s a space for people who already know that music is their passion and want to take it to the next level:

  • Working on voice and song interpretation
  • Body awareness in stage movement
  • Musical expression and combining singing with acting

We explore, refine, and polish what already lies within you. If you feel that the stage is your place, join us and let yourself be swept away by music!
