This workshop harnesses the immersive nature of theatre-making, to help leaders experience multi-perspectival and innovative thinking and therefore, gain a more in-depth understanding of what their work entails.
Specifically, this workshop aims to:
- Introduce advanced strategies of storytelling; how to develop a compelling and dynamic stage presence
