“I invited Ms Brightlyn [to teach at the Department of Theatre and Dramatic Arts’ Visiting Artists Series] because of her expertise in Stage Combat...  

Her professionalism, pedagogical effectiveness and the way in which she connected to our students at all levels of experience was evident in every activity during that week...  

 Ms. Brightlyn was truly able to expose young learners to the full  spectrum of challenges, without sacrificing technique  or creativity. ” Lisa Doolittle, Head of Movement / Professor, Theatre and Dramatic Arts, University of Lethbridge, Canada
