Paul believes in the idea of a performing arts community and has been working with other studios to create cross-disciplinary exchanges and partnerships that will help students grow into well rounded performers. Furthermore, Paul believes in empowering students with information about the industry, on how it works by bringing working artists to teaching working knowledge of the industry.
