PERFORMANCE SKILLS WORKSHOP
The demands of life in the workplace may at first seem worlds apart from those of the performing arts. However many skills are directly transferable; this process is explored in workshops led by the Creative Workshop's facilitators Barb Jungr and Adrian York, (Performance and Jazz Workshops creators).
By using the worlds of jazz and performance as models, CREATIVE WORKSHOPS engage participants in stimulating, challenging, rewarding and enjoyable experiences. We address many of the key contemporary issues facing both the corporate and public sector environments. The interactive nature of the sessions provides a pathway into another world, creating fresh perspectives on issues such as: Successful team building, effective communication, mutual support, self-reflection and appraisal, working within hierarchies, leadership, effective presentation, management of innovation and innovators, getting value out of creative thinking.
The CREATIVE WORKSHOPS format is flexible and can be tailored to your needs. Anything from a morning session to a full weekend can be accommodated and sessions dealing with particular issues or themes pertinent to your company or organisation can be incorporated. 'Creativity audits' (analyses of your organisation's ability to encourage new thinking) can also be booked on request.
JAZZ WORKSHOP
The first thing you see when you enter our Jazz Workshop is a jazz quartet. By the end of the workshop you will have joined the band! We demystify the processes that produce this
most magical of musical styles and relate these directly to techniques you can use in the workplace. From the art of composition to the 'blue skies' thinking of improvisation JAZZ WORKSHOP provides new and powerful tools for creativity and effective leadership.
PERFORMANCE SKILLS WORKSHOP
From the basics of breath, posture and voice production through participation in creative writing, poetry, plays and musicals, the PERFORMANCE SKILLS workshop provides an opportunity to engage in new psychological experiences, developing empowerment and confidence. Appropriate use of microphones is addressed. Skills learned are of immediate practical use for all public speaking and presentation work. Exploring the use of the body and voice through exercises and games, and working with rhythmic and dramatic improvisation allows individuals to experience the creative process and to understand their own roles in teams, addressing issues of leadership and collaboration.
HOW WE WORK
The two strands of Creative Workshops can be run together and separately. They can be run as half day, full day and two day courses. To discuss these possibilities please contact us.
