Using fundamental principles of good theatre work we take the students on a journed to find grounding, voice and presence. The workshop begins with theatre exercises to warm-up the class as a group and take pressure off the feeling of needing to perform. The workshop is structured on such a way that the students work on the various aspects of presenting themselves in an interview, application, presentation or general workplace situation. How do we use gesture, body position, the space we are in, volume, movement, eye-contact, facial expressions to convey information. We work with extremes for displaying not just the dos but also the don’ts. Often with hilarious results. Circling back at the completion of the workshop to find a good middle-ground in communication which can be used in all aspects of life in any language.
As with all of our workshops we are avid supporters of building self-esteem and as key to active foreign language learning and understanding.
Tip: Although a benefit at any time in the school year this workshop is a great kick-starter for a new „Klassengemeinschaft“.
