In this workshop, the focus will be on how to have body awareness and thus generate presence in any activity you are going to do.

The workshop uses practical exercises and games, so get ready to move your body and play. We assume that no one plays without being present and therefore aware of everything that is happening in and around them. We will focus on exercises to trigger that alertness and bring the participant into the present moment. These games and exercises are used with actors to increase their ability to be alert, attentive, curious, and ready to play. But you don't have to be an actor to try out these techniques, as these exercises are recommended for anyone.

During these two days of the workshop, we will create a safe environment for you to rediscover new possibilities of being present and aware.
