WORKSHOP / LECTURE
Improvisation and coaching

​

What do improvisation and coaching have in common? In both cases, deep listening is needed for good results. In this workshop, we try some simple exercises that actors and dancers use to enhance their improvisation skills and explore how these practices can inform our coaching journey. In a lighthearted and playful manner, we work on opening our senses to be able to listen on many levels and access the intelligence nested in our bodies.
