Transferable Skills Course: Public Speaking and Stage Presence
Theatre-based workshop to present with impact and charisma



Idea & Goal

How to succeed at presentations with engaging body language, voice tone and story-telling that underlines your key message?

How can you deliver a short, well-structured presentation and entertain your audience?

With this theatre-based workshop, you will enhance your interaction and presentation skills. Each participant will present to the group and receive constructive feedback. Public speaking is a key skill, whatever your profession or faculty might be, and a path to recognition and success. Stage coaching can help you reach the next level in one’s professional career in academia.


Content

· Physical play, vocal tools and emotion-based exercises to avoid stage-fright

· Exercises in order to become more playful and confident in front of an audience

· Exercises to develop space and time awareness, p.e. strategical breaks

· Impromptu speeches to discover and increase confidence, control and charisma when presenting

· Improvisation tools to develop imagination, communication, awareness abilities

· Story-telling and dialogue techniques to optimize key messages

· 5-Steps to structure your academic ideas in a clear, convincing way

IMPORTANT: Participants need to bring a keyword concept for their presentation in the form of slides (on their laptop) along with a short structure with keywords for the introduction, main part, and conclusion.
