This episode of the podcast about the pedagogical and artistic legacy of Linda Rabin features Linda Rabin, Anne Le Beau and Isabelle Poirier in a discussion moderated by Lucie Boissinot.

Anne and Isabelle were among the first cohorts of students at LADMMI, where they studied technique with Linda. Both women feel that Linda’s teaching shaped their careers. They recall the foundations of her pedagogy, based on high standards, along with a keen ear, authenticity, and a strong presence both with oneself and with others. Linda, a force of nature who strives to expand horizons, was not only their teacher, but is also a source of inspiration that still inhabits them in art and in life. A beautiful encounter about the act of transmission. (in French)
