Drama and Voice: The Use of Theatre in Public Speaking

Do you struggle in front of a big crowd? Have you ever frozen by the thought of sharing your thoughts to an audience? Public speaking, in any setting, is hard. You have to be able to unlock, be free and stay grounded while also being extremely prepared. How do we achieve it all at the same time?

The Art of Public Speaking is a new class taught by Valeria, who is an MA in Applied Theatre in Education, Social and Community Contexts student at Goldsmiths, University of London, TEFL-certified, longtime actor and facilitator, designed for anyone ages 7-65+. The class is structured with drama foundations and vocal techniques that we connect to the craft public speaking. You will not only discover more about yourself and what you're capable of, but this class is designed to help you feel more confident in being who you are. You have everything you need within you, it's time we discover it.

FOREING LANGUAGE ENGLISH CLASSES FOR CHILDREN (BASSIC)
English is a potential language nowadays and it is better if we learn it when we are young. Children who learn English not only gain linguistic competence, but also gain a deeper understanding of the culture and customs of English-speaking countries. One of the most significant benefits of teaching English to children is that it supports cognitive development. Thanks to studies conducted by scientists, we know that learning a language positively affects skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, and creativity.

EVERYDAY EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND EMPATHY, AT THE SERVICE OF EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION
This training allows you to learn about the concepts of emotional intelligence & empathy with the aim of better recognizing and understanding your own emotions and those of others. Being aware of emotions allows better management of behavior in human relationships, both in the professional, private, entrepreneurial framework (...). For example, as a key to management, it makes it possible to: • Measure the impact of emotions in team management. • Analyze your own mode of operation to get the most out of it. • To be able to put in place strategies to regulate his own emotions and those of his collaborators. • Know how to approach delicate interviews taking into account the emotional factor. • To be able to understand, recognize and name his own emotions as well as those of his collaborators. • Discover the emotional process. • Manage the team (the impact of emotions on communication and decision making), the emotional quotient and leadership styles. • Motivate and mobilize its employees over the long term, and in particular in the context of interviews "to strong emotional potential "(reframing, motivation, problem solving, tense sessions, conflicts etc). Emotional intelligence is a process of personal development over time. This training allows you to initiate the process, with concrete tools that can be applied on a daily basis. This training combines group activities, individual reflections, videos and scenarios. From theory to practice with simulations. It is a question of putting in place rational and professional tools to achieve the objectives set together and overcome the blockages initially defined. Controlled, the techniques allow: • to rely on emotional intelligence and capitalize on the empathy communicated to better ensure that his message is better received his message or being. • improve credibility, self-confidence and ease (verbal-bodily) with public speaking and a more fluid sense of repartee. • defuse conflicts and enter your comfort / safety zone. In particular simple and logical techniques, which make it possible to resolve and manage violent situations in a harmonious, effective and lasting way, for example through NVC (Non Violent Communication). • better manage negotiation situations (contrary to the stereotypes conveyed, negotiation is not only financial, but it can be small everyday events). • Match the content and form of your message while improving the use of your emotional intelligence. What you will get out of it: • Better control of emotions and therefore of your way of communicating • Better understanding of the feelings of others and the ability to lead them successfully • Better relationships in personal and professional life thanks to superior emotional intelligence • Less stress thanks to a better understanding of one's emotions and those of others • Greater determination and results-oriented mindset • Ways to develop and apply emotional intelligence in the workplace Statistically, the progression following these private sessions is quickly noticeable, from 2 or 3 sessions *.
