Elia created and developed our Adler In Spanish Program, and built it through the years into a highly respected and sought after class. People came from around the world to study with Elia at our school. She was a powerful force who always fought for art. She had deep respect for, and understanding of, Stella’s work, and Elia taught that work with passion and immense depth. She truly transformed her students, and had a powerful and lasting influence on their acting – and in their lives.
