Participants practice tools and concepts utilized by classical actors to maximize the potential of all communication. Read the brochure here.
• Text and Persuasion
  Focus your message and sharpen your delivery to inspire action and achieve your goals. Participants will explore text and presentation content in depth in order to polish delivery and bring life to complicated, dense language. Receive detailed individual coaching and feedback while analyzing and presenting text you use with your clients in your professional work.
• Team Building and Communication in the Workplace
  Improve communication between staff through play and performance. Strengthen your ability to listen, create relationships and collaborate with others through games and exercises designed by theatre professionals to build ensemble. Have fun practicing your communication skills in a team-building experience that’s challenging, energetic and entertaining.

If your organization’s specific goals are not adequately addressed within any of these existing workshops, STC Education will collaborate with your staff to customize an experience that suits your needs.  Workshop fees vary and are based on the length and location of classes, degree of customization and number of participants engaged.
