1. Practical Skills

We take as a starting point the idea that we are all, to some extent, performing our lives. We offer courses and workshops which use theatre, movement and photography to help to improve the ‘stage presence’ and performance of health workers taking into account the way they move, speak, look, interpret and communicate. Participants can learn new skills which help them to meet the demands of their job and become more responsive, inspiring and approachable.

Sessions include: Non-Verbal Communication Skills, Power and Status, Voice, Touch, Experiential Anatomy, Ways of Seeing, Presentation Skillls, Team Building, Self Defence.
