Says it all!
How you come across in applications, job interviews and presentations: posture, voice, eye contact, space.
Using fundamental principles of good theatre work, we take the students on a journey to find grounding, voice and presence. The workshop begins with theatre exercises to warm up the class as a group and take the pressure off the feeling of needing to perform.
The students then work on the various aspects of presenting themselves in an interview, an application, a presentation or a general workplace situation. How do we use gesture, body position, the space we are in, volume, movement, eye contact and facial expressions to convey information? We work with extremes to show not just the dos but also the don’ts, often with hilarious results. At the end of the workshop we circle back to find a good middle ground in communication that 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 as a 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 class community.
