I had an incredible time at ECB in 2021-2023. I did 2 years of professional insertion, and it changed my life. All the teachers were highly qualified, diverse, and they were all paying attention and providing very usefull feedback about my artistic choices and evolution. The school gave me may gigs and I felt really integrated into thheir pro network. We created 5 collective shows in 2 years, and I left the school feeling able to repdroduce the process, understanding what was my artistic desires.
