Farewell!

My dear students,

   As you may know this is my last year in HIS.
It's been 5 years full of Music, Drama and Dance, full of educational adventures and most of all, full of love.

   Some of you have lived the "whole experience" with me as I started introducing to you the Performing Arts world since you were in grade 1, some others you know me a bit less.
Some of you helped me to create these wonderful musical memories from "Beauty and the Beast", "Annie", "Matilda" and the "School of Rock" - memories that bonded us even more and created a strong relationship of trust and mutual respect.

   It is my belief to treat everyone equally.
I always treat you as young adults, and I always set the bar of my expectations for your achievements really high.
A lot of you kept asking "why" am I being such a "perfectionist" and "why" did I keep pushing you to the limits.

   The answer is quite simple: to show you that you are capable to do more that you think.

  The classes we had together were aiming not only to teach you about music or drama.
My goal was to enrich your cultural background and to make you believe in yourselves as I always believe in each one of you.

  You are always welcome to visit my blog and see my new adventures with the students in IBSH - and, please, keep in touch. Send me emails with your new achievements, your new daily stories, send me pictures of you growing up. It is a great gift for me to be updated and still keep in touch with you.
My email address will remain the same: fay.his@gmail.com

  So, farewell my little Drama monkeys. Never forget that nothing is impossible and if you dream about it, then you can surely make it true.

Love you all,
Your Drama Mama :)

Summer Recommendation for a Musical!



If you are visiting New York and planning to go to Broadway for a Musical, this is a must-see!

Brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are desperate to write a hit play but are stuck in the shadow of that Renaissance rockstar known as “The Bard”  (William Shakespeare).

When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theatre involves singing, dancing and acting at the same time, Nick and Nigel set out to write the world’s very first MUSICAL! 


But amidst the scandalous excitement of Opening Night, the Bottom Brothers realize that reaching the top means being true to thine own self… and all that jazz!
