Heart Fire's work was pioneered by Dawn Langman who trained in Steiner's approach to speech and drama in the 1970s then subsequently studied Michael Chekhov's work in New York in the 1980s. She has written five books outlining a comprehensive approach to an integrated methodology that combines both streams and has run three four year trainings in the technique. She will be the principal tutor, supported by two graduates, Nicole Ostini and Katrina Stowe.
