Our Courses bring out a set of instincts which release students from the debilitating judgement of their egos. Their natural ability to play and their curiosity is heightened and released. The atmosphere becomes cooperative and enjoyable; people begin to trust themselves, listen to each other and feel empowered. We use carefully crafted interactive exercises, based on the principles of advanced cooperation (improvisation), which bring out a collaborative spirit and an atmosphere of spontaneity. This frees people from self criticism, and enables them to present their more natural side – inevitably producing a more engaging and convincing communication style.
The achieved state of flow allows participants to become totally absorbed in the act of communicating verbally. Emphasis is also placed on developing peoples' emotional expressiveness: body language, tone of voice, rhythm and pitch are all crucial elements of effective communication.

English Self-Expression Course - Details
The Presentation Course lasts between 8-12 hours. This course enables non-native English speakers to talk, converse and debate in a totally liberating environment. We use a series of exercises and games that graduate from a simple warm-up stage to enjoyable role-play and scene work. Every exercise is fun and involving; there is always a lot of laughter and genuine cooperation and trust. The learning is highly experiential. Participants shift from awkwardness to a state of flow in which judgment is suspended.
In addition to the core theme of cooperation, participants are introduced to basic dramatic concepts such as status, body language, emotional shifts, caricature, character presentation and heightened awareness of others. Listening skills are very much part of the process.
There are hundreds of exercises and games. For example: The Camera Game, Collaborative story- telling, The Apartment Game, The Dysfunctional Family, Three-Headed Expert, Mock Interviews, The Grand Debate.
