Lecturer for Voice/Speech in Theatre and Media

“It's the right place at the right time,” laughs Brian Archinal. This is how the American found Bern - or was it Bern that found him? Either way: he is “completely happy” in Bern. And with BFH anyway. “The balance is perfect. Plenty of freedom within the framework of professional structures enables me to respond individually to my students and to hone my style as a lecturer.”
