Description

On Day 1, a trained actor will teach the fundamentals of breathing, speech, and body language through hands-on instruction and exercises. The workshop is therefore also aimed at experienced educators, who will have the opportunity to reflect individually on aspects of speech and body language in their teaching. On Day 2, participants will give presentations based on their own teaching and receive detailed (video) feedback on them. The individual presentations and feedback will be recorded on video and made available to participants afterward.
