Cassie Austin : Teaching Artist
Teaching ignites my spirit. I mentor artists of all ages, guiding them to unlock their vast potential through storytelling, song, and movement. My joy is in fostering each student's aspirations, from casual exploration to intensive training. I see my students first as humans—nurturing the artist on the whole while still challenging them to be the best they can be.
