In Melbourne Angelica once again pursued her passion for the arts and took a role teaching social dancing. As well as teaching Angelica also took over the role of managing the school, training staff and developing strategies for marketing and client relations.
In 2001 Angelica decided to establish a school to enrich and empower lives through the arts, and Voice & Movement was established. The focus was on assisting people in developing greater self confidence and self expression. Angelica personally researched and developed the unique Drama for Everyday Life Program that assists students with autism spectrum disorders.
This program has gained recognition and an excellent reputation through private students, schools and psychologists seeking her assistance.
