What the Immersion is
You live at the school for a set period and study full time. Before you start there is a levelling session: the plan is built from where you actually are, not from a fixed schedule. It is not a course with a class and a start date — it is a concentrated, individual period with direct guidance.
What a day looks like
Studio, practice and review, with a practice room available through the day and a home studio in the bedroom to keep going after hours. The pace is agreed in the initial plan and adjusted during the stay.
