Workshop in Bayreuth and Munich
Stage of Life
Together with my very good friend and colleague, the film and theatre director Alexander Löwen from Munich, I offer a special event in Bayreuth and Munich.
Life would be so much easier if we could rehearse difficult situations calmly and without stress.
Our “Stage of Life” gives you, as part of a small group of no more than ten people, a rare chance: to carry your own themes onto the stage and work on them there, intensively. It may well get emotional – and we are right at your side while it does.
And this is how it works
Four steps on the Stage of Life
-
“Warming up”
First we practise self-assured behaviour in short role plays, in three areas: standing up for your rights, building relationships, and winning people over. The best part: getting it wrong is not possible here. We play and play and play, until your own words feel good in the room. Until that warm sense of self-assurance spreads through you and all the fear and tension falls away.
We work here exactly along the lines of Dr Rüdiger Hinsch, whose GSK concept (group training in social skills) allows positive reinforcement and nothing else. Everything negative stays outside. There is room here only for joy, courage and trying things out.
-
“Your own theme”
As qualified GSK trainers, Alexander and I learned the techniques of the GSK from Dr Rüdiger Hinsch himself. Now we want to go one step further with you: your themes are next. In a protected space we act out the scenes and situations that have been going round in your head for a long time.
An example: “What does it feel like to tell my boss what I really think, just once?”
-
“Talking it through”
That can of course be very intense – after all, we are working on things that are bound to touch you deeply. So we gather you up again within the group. We talk in detail about the feelings you had during the role play. Together we consider what felt good and what might feel better – and then we move into relaxation.
-
“Relaxation”
A music therapy sound journey closes every session. That is how we ground ourselves again and calm the churning sea inside us, until it lies before us as smooth and still as a mountain lake.
Our approach
Lasting strength in self-assurance and social skills
We have developed a programme that strengthens self-assurance and social skills for the long term – tailored to each person, with no grading and no judgement.
We follow the group training in social skills devised by Dr Rüdiger Hinsch and combine it with theatre pedagogy and music therapy.
As people from the worlds of music, film and theatre, we put our skills to artistic and social use – and we warmly invite you to join us.
In short
The space you need
The Stage of Life gives you the space you need to say exactly what you have always wanted to say. And together we first feel our way into it: “How do these words taste, now that I have finally been able to say them out loud?”
The idea is a protected space just for you and the other participants, who come to us out of exactly the same motivation as you do.
We look forward to hearing from you!
