Actor, Singer, Massage Practitioner
Lives in Malérargues, Thoiras, France
Roy Hart Voice Teacher since 2011

Body-oriented teacher, Laurent Stéphan holds a National Diploma for Teaching Theatre. He is very interested in understanding what expands presence in a person and in a performer. His unique approach and perspective is informed by his professional expertise as a theatre performer, a massage practitioner and singer, specializing in traditional polyphony of Georgia (4 CDs and over 200 concerts).

To enhance his goal of inviting each voice to arise and sound freely, he works with playfulness and spontaneity, but then combines this approach with a rigorous teaching of three-part harmonies, to develop musical and rythmical accuracy in his students.

Laurent Stéphan has trained with Pascale Ben, Marie Paule Marthe, Flavio Polizzy, Renata Roagna, Saule Ryan and Linda Wise.
He speaks French, English, Italian and Spanish.
