ABOUT THE METHOD
The ©In-Balance Method is a method Mariana created throughout her work as a theatre-mask-puppet master, as an actor, writer, director, and pedagogue and she is considered an expert in her field. Currently taught by Mariana in drama schools all over the world, the Method is based on her 30-plus years of experience in theatre and pedagogy.
The focal points of the ©In-Balance Method for an ensemble on stage are:

In Paris we have been conducting professional theatre training for over ten years. Now we bring the whole programme to Sweden and therefore in 2025 have opened The In-Balance Incubator & Institute in Lund/Malmö.
The masterclasses can be taken individually or as part of a longer 2-year DIPLOMA PROGRAMME.
The In-Balance Incubator & Institute is a part of our ongoing lab project connected with our open stage and summer Festival in Lund every year at Stenkrossen where Theatre In-Balance have a home for the next 3 years thanks to the extended MAXI residency we have received from 2026..
