| The Performance Workshop
This is a unique and highly effective one day programme, for people of all levels of presenting experience.
So often, when we learn to present on traditional programmes, we are trying to absorb a number of techniques at once. We are juggling with what to say, how to remember it, and how to sound and move differently. This may involve changing patterns and styles which we have had for years.
In addition, we may be nervous of presenting ourselves on a course, to a group who is listening and scrutinising everything we say and do.
The end result of all this, is that, what we know to make sense and be willing to try, is often missing the moment it is our turn to stand up and talk in front of others. There is simply too much going on for us.
The 'Performance Workshop' has been designed to 'free us up' from thinking about so many things at once. It makes presenting enjoyable to practice and easier to achieve.
This is how it works:
Our programme is run in partnership with The Circus Space, the powerhouse of Britain's contemporary circus. This is an extraordinary and amazing asset, where you will learn the art of personal performance, away from the context of a business presentation, without the concerns about the content and the timing. You will achieve things you didn't expect to achieve and learn things you will never forget, in a friendly and supportive set up.

"Performance Works" synopsis
The Circus Space believes that we, like actors and performers, should continue our learning and training in our skills, what ever our level of experience.
In this captivating workshop of pure improvisation, you will learn how to 'let go' and lose your inhibitions, so that you can reveal your true self.
Using fun and imaginary techniques, we discover skills which are closely connected to some familiar presenting situations, such as having the confidence to hold the stage and 'claim the space', creating presence through gesture and movement, and making others with whom you share the space, look good.
'Performance Works' is run with the spirit of participation and expert coaching that provides plenty of support, encouragement and enjoyment.

This first part of the workshop will help you express yourself, to feel confident and relaxed, and to feel energised.
In the second part, you will then learn about how to develop your message and practice delivering it with conviction and passion, incorporating the key principles of Performance Dialogue. This is so you can deliver your message to the rest of the group, as you would in a business context.
The outcome is a powerful and congruent message, delivered with the expression of a true performer - the 'natural you'.
