Letter of Recommendation from Cirque du Soleil

Stefan,   I want to thank you again for your week at La Nouba. Your work with our artists was inspiring and will go a long way. Saturday, after the second show, a group of artists and myself sat on the patio (with some good stiff drinks, may I add!) and discussed the week, the work with you. They got so much out of it; it is incredible.  They felt “allowed’ to explore, never judged, always encouraged. They gained trust in their own abilities to perform, their desire to do more on stage. Most of them never had such an intensive week and voiced how nervous they were before and how “full” they felt at the end, energized, wanting to be “more generous with their art!”   What an achievement for them and for you!   From the bottom of my artistic heart and soul. I want to thank you.   All the best  till our paths cross again.   Denise Biggi M.B.A Artistic Director / Show Quality and Integrity Cirque du Soleil - La Nouba Office (407) 934-8105 Cell (321) 278-4352
