A Note on workshop:


The workshop brings together some of the finest techniques, practical exercises and creative processes from theatre pedagogies, social science & Psycho-Neurological research. Sessions are facilitated with keen emphasis on going beyond “understanding” of Speaking process to “embodying” the inter-connected and multi-dimensional nature of communication. Driven by curiosity, exploration and guided discovery, facilitation encourages individual breakthroughs and collective enrichment.


Techniques taught in workshop are drawn from two of the most advanced practices, Suzuki method & Viewpoints taught at best of the theatre schools, like Julliard, Yale, UCLA, NYU etc. Training brings exercises from various other sources, like Alexander technique, Adishakti research and lab, Lecoq, Script Analysis etc to help participants unlock their potential, free their voice, thoughts and engage fully.



Methodology:


The session constantly integrates three primary focuses for multi-dimensional learning:


1. Awareness 2. Cultivation 3. Articulation


The facilitation is designed to heighten the awareness towards multiple capacities, which informs the speaking process, like voice, breath, thought flow, internal working of body-mind connection etc,, cultivating these capacities with practical and advanced techniques and integrate capacities and sensibilities to deliver an influential speech.


Structure of the workshop:


The workshop is organized in three sections:


1. Voice: Working in detail with various factors which impacts one's voice and its elements like, tone, resonance, breath, muscular support and breath-voice connection. The sessions will offer techniques to work on these aspects as well as help participants unlock their potentials.


2. Text: Working with various aspects of handling text and preparations to deliver it effectively. Sessions will bring in techniques of analyzing the text, layering it with subtext, expressivity & imagination, thought break-ups and effective way of delivering an argument. Each participant will work on well composed text to practice these techniques.



3. Performance: Standing in space and delivering a speech incorporates various non-speaking elements, like presence, grounding, energy, connection, body composition etc to enhance the content. In this section, participants will work on exercises which will help them build performance-aspects and integrate Voice, Text & Performance.



Act of Speaking:


Act of Speaking has evolved into a complex phenomenon beyond sound based survival communication to exchange ideas, stories, knowledge and experiences. The phenomenon is an intricate working of various inter-related sub-systems (Respiratory, nervous, neurological, brain’s faculties, physical system etc), each plays a unique role in making the communication through speaking a rich experience.


In public speaking context, the complexity increases multiple folds, with environment, stress, more sensory information to process and other external factors affecting each internal component and their relationship.


Speaking becomes powerful when all these components work together fluidly and at enhanced states to create an impactful presence to sustain this intricate phenomenon.
