will lead you through a thrilling
and unforgettable experience, turning your team into the cast of a
play. While students train for three years to become skilled
professionals, we offer you and your colleagues the opportunity to
'tread the boards' after just one day of carefully constructed
workshops and rehearsals. Training with actors and directors will help your team release
their creative energy and express themselves in new and hitherto
unimagined ways!
What
kinds of skills can you learn?
The day starts with a series of
games and exercises – used extensively with actors to relax and
‘free’ them from their inhibitions – and moves on to a session
that’s all about your body and breathing. This helps you to develop
‘stage presence’ and become more expressive and engaging. After
this, there are further sessions on the use of voice and movement in
which you will learn how to prepare and warm up your voice and body
for the performance.
The tutor works with the
participants to create the structure for a suitable performance –
teaching the importance of rhythm, pace, pause and listening - as
well as helping each participant to develop their character. The
performance will show that delivering words is much more than simply
reciting from a page of text; it is about ‘lifting’ the words from
the page and speaking them as though they are your own. By the end
of the day, all participants should expect to:
-
Feel an
increase in confidence
-
Understand the
importance of preparation and rehearsal of materials
-
Develop a
deeper sense of presence
-
Learn more
about their voice and how to use it for greater impact
-
Understand the
power of the pause as a communication tool
-
Experience the
sensation of really ‘holding’ their audience
So, very much more than you would
expect of a typical team-building activity!
Your team will gain a new knowledge of each other’s strengths and
skills. Our activities are designed to allow those skills to come to
the fore where perhaps they haven’t been noticed before.
JamBerry’s
activities are designed for groups between 6 and
100 people.
