The whole world is a stage“ – Acting techniques in daily life
Whether on purpose or unconsciously, we all produce and convey images of ourselves, always focusing on certain aspects of our personalities. At times we are able to select and choose our audiences, at times we can only adapt to the situation, be in the flow and mingle with the crowd in order to change it from within.
Empathy, techniques for enhancing your creativity and self monitoring are the key elements for improving and perfectioning your soft skills. An actors education and work life is a continuous education in keeping these capacities open, alive and ready for use.
So by observing actors and artists, we can learn a lot about our performances in different roles ourselves! Whether it’s on the job in business life, whether privately in our social systems of family, friends, associations, clubs or publicly in society, organizations or political parties – Acting techniques can be very helpful..
This workshop with a lot of practical exercises will give you an insight in the basics of an actors education, will broaden your horizon and enable to look behind the “tricks” of public performance.
Eureka – Everyone’s a Think-Tank!
Creativity as key to success – great lessons from da Vinci, Mozart to Edison and Steven Jobs!
Creativity is one of the most important factors for success in business. But an innovative idea does not suddenly occur out of nowhere as a strike of genius in somebody’s head.
Dealing with thoughts, concepts and ideas in a creative, playful and productive way is an ability that can be enhanced and trained – just like any other talent. This workshop will show and train a couple of established techniques, to do so.
Not every musician will turn into Mozart, not every engineer will be Thomas Alva Edison und not every left handed painter will Be Leonardo. But it is great fun to see and understand, how they grew up to tap into their “genius potential” and get some tricks, to be more like them.
And if you integrate these “thinking round the corner” in your life on a daily basis, you will definitely have more fun.

Sex sells – but stories sell more!
Storytelling as key factor for Marketing
Collective memories connect people and keep cultures, societies and companies alive. Our brains are hungry for plots and narrative connections and it is up to Marketing departments to understand and influence these factors..
Nothing connects and unites people more powerfully than the mutual and collective experience of a shared adventure. Our brains are hungrily looking for plots, creating narrative connections whenever possible and it is mutually shared stories that keep cultures and societies alive and determine their futures. Rituals, storytelling and theatrical performances were among the first bond-forming rituals mankind has developed.
From the origins of theatre at the prehistoric fireplace until today’s culture of sharing our lives in the social networks, remodeling our world on all levels. Spiced with fun examples also from the “Discworld” of the late Terry Pratchett you will see how the vital element of “Narrativium” influences culture, commerce, conferences, common purpose and general connectedness.
Interactivity
Since it’s a workshop participants should be ready to share THEIR stories with others as well as to create new ones together. Improv-Theatre exercises never fail to activate everyone. The final result of the different exercises will be a short perfomace, possibly a multilevel-multimedia storytelling including video and depending on the participants possible also an interactive online game.
