My ambition was to open a café with an integrated music stage, combining my two passions: customer service and music.

I believe that my training at EHG has particularly enabled me to strengthen my team spirit and collaboration skills, essential qualities in both the artistic and hotel-restaurant fields. It also helped me develop my leadership skills, which are essential to the success of any project, artistic or otherwise. Finally, this experience helped me hone my organizational and administrative skills, as well as my personal discipline, which I now apply to my daily artistic practice.

These experiences were particularly formative and encouraged me to show initiative, while developing my ability to understand, analyze and respond to customer needs with an adapted offer. In my artistic profession, these skills are just as essential: when creating a show, it’s vital to identify the audience you want to address with the work you’ve created. Being a freelance artist also demands a great deal of self-discipline, a quality I’ve been able to consolidate through my various professional experiences.

These internships enabled me to adapt to a demanding work rhythm, often unpredictable and punctuated by long hours, which helped me develop my patience and stamina. I also learned to manage stress and adrenalin, essential skills for stage and performance. It’s also thanks to these experiences that I’ve been able to refine my contact with customers, offering them a unique experience, even if some tasks may seem repetitive to me. The same logic applies to the show: although we present the same production every evening, each performance must remain unique for the audience.

Music has always played a central role in my education and in my life. After hotel school, I felt the need to fully explore my creativity and passion, so that I wouldn’t have any regrets before embarking on my café project – my diploma offered me the security to follow my passion for music.

“My training in Geneva was first and foremost a real coming out of my shell for me: I learned to dare to reveal myself, to put myself forward as an artist.”

My training in Geneva was first and foremost a way for me to come out of my shell: I learned to dare to reveal myself, to put myself forward as an artist. It’s an ongoing learning process, because each project brings its own challenges, and that’s precisely what I love about this profession. I’ve also learned new singing, acting and dancing techniques. These first two years gave me a solid foundation and strengthened my desire to progress, which led me to continue my studies in England.

My Bachelor’s degree in England was also a great challenge. I had to leave my comfort zone and rebuild myself in a language and culture different from my own. The experience made me grow, both personally and artistically. Being an artist is a demanding and non-linear path, but it’s also an inexhaustibly rich profession, constantly offering new opportunities for learning and discovery.

I think the biggest challenge I’ve faced, and continue to face, is not to give up in the face of the many rejections this industry can sometimes impose. You have to keep pushing yourself, keep believing in yourself and keep looking for the right opportunities. This profession demands great resilience and the ability to remain anchored in reality, accepting that any artistic career is made up of ups and downs, sometimes intense.

This idea was born following a call for projects by two of my university teachers, who were themselves migrants and faced difficulties when they arrived in England. Our many exchanges about our experiences fueled the desire to shed light on the reality behind the dream of pursuing an artistic career in the UK – a reality often ignored before departure.

The English musical theatre industry is highly codified, especially when it comes to accents, and it’s often difficult for foreign artists to find their place in a milieu still largely centered on Anglo-Saxon accents and the stereotypes associated with them. So we decided to create this space ourselves, to showcase the diversity of backgrounds and origins.

The project that has undoubtedly had the biggest impact on me to date is Tick, Tick… Boom. We worked on this production in a very short space of time, which made the experience particularly intense in terms of energy and involvement. I met some wonderful people, and in just a few weeks we formed a real family, united by strong artistic and friendly ties.

This musical deals with deep, universal themes of life. Sharing these emotions on stage, both with my partners and the audience, was an unforgettable experience. I think it was a very moving moment for both us and the audience, and there was no shortage of tears.

I’m extremely happy to have the opportunity to appear on the Geneva stage, only a year after finishing my studies, in such an important role in this emblematic show of my hometown. It’s a real challenge for me, especially in view of the number of consecutive performances, a first in my career, and I’m delighted.

This project represents a real opportunity for artistic evolution: every night, I strive to surpass myself and progress, and it’s an absolutely wonderful experience. I’m also delighted to be able to collaborate with talented artists and share the stage with them in this edition of the Revue.

This year’s Revue is full of surprises in terms of costumes, choreography, sketches and music – there’s something for everyone!

I can only encourage them to follow their artistic passion, bearing in mind that this path is not always easy. You have to be prepared to make the sacrifices and concessions that this path demands.

My ambition is to continue performing as much as possible, to develop my practice as an actress, singer and dancer, and to collaborate with various artists in Switzerland, France and England.
