Sunday October 4, 2026 09:25 - 10:25 CEST
Limited Capacity seats available
Habt Ihr Euch auch schon mal gewünscht, es gäbe Life Hacks für Performance, also einfache Werkzeuge, mit denen Eure Performance sofort lebendiger und echter würde?

Dieser Kurs bietet Euch genau das: Einfache, sofort anwendbare Techniken, um Eure Performance sofort zu verbessern. Die Werkzeuge sind für jeden geeignet und umsetzbar, auch wenn Ihr sonst keine geborenen Performer seid. Dazu machen wir uns den Ausdruck von grundlegenden körpersprachlichen Dingen zu Nutze die wir ohnehin auch auf der Bühne tun, wie z.B. Atmen. Und wir lernen, warum und wie unsere Körpersprache unseren Ausdruck beeinflussen kann.

Teilnehmer verstehen, wie die im Kurs vorgestellten verschiedene Techniken funktionieren, können sie anwenden und in ihren Ensembles auch weiter geben.

Unser Körper auf der Bühne - eine Bedienungsanleitung
LIMITED
Sunday October 4, 2026 13:35 - 15:15 CEST
Limited Capacity seats available
Wir alle benutzen unseren Körper und Körpersprache jeden Tag, um effektiv und ausdrucksstark zu kommunizieren. Das geht vollkommen automatisch und problemlos -- bis wir auf der Bühne stehen. Und dann fragen wir uns oft: was mache ich eigentlich mit meinen Händen? Stehe ich immer so da? Darf ich mich bewegen?

Dieser Kurs gibt Euch einen Werkzeugkasten an körpersprachlichen Techniken an die Hand, um Eure Performance lebendiger, glaubwürdiger und ausdrucksreicher zu machen. Wir schauen uns an, wie wir unsere Körper einsetzen, wenn wir nicht darüber nachdenken und machen diese Techniken auf der Bühne nutzbar. Wir erforschen, wie Blickrichtung, Gesten und Körperhaltung Bedeutung transportieren – und wie Ihr diese natürlichen Ausdrucksmittel bewusst einsetzen könnt, ohne dass es sich aufgesetzt anfühlt.

Wenn Ihr Euch nie sicher seid, wie 'natürlich' auf der Bühne aussieht, wenn Ihr nie sicher seid, was Ihr mit Eurem Körper auf der Bühne machen sollt - dann ist dieser Kurs für Euch!

Teinehmer erkennen grundlegende körpersprachliche Ausdruckstechniken und können diese beim Singen einsetzen für eine authentischere PerformancEDU.
