The program
We will be working with body, breath and voice to teach storytelling, presentation, and active communications skills.
Enhanced emotional intelligence, increased confidence, and authentic presence are the outcome.
The program is 100% experiential.
Our teaching and coaching approach is structured and non-hierarchical.
Through a structured series of exercises, combining the disciplines of the Roy Hart Theatre voice, body, and imagination work, this workshop with will draw out the individual’s inherent communication skills and serve as an introduction to the art of Signature Storytelling. Participants will embark on a ‘River of Life’ journey to explore their personal experience, uncover their origin stories, and embody them, in order to tell them with presence and vocal confidence. Days will commence with physical and vocal warm-ups, followed by individual and group work incorporating vocal sound creation and accompanying physical movement. Afternoons will focus on storytelling with individual, pair, and group exploration, and voice and singing work in the Wolfsohn, Hart, and Roy Hart Theatre tradition. Each day will build on what emerges in the previous days, culminating in individual and group presentations.
The concept of authenticity derives from the ancient Greek philosophy γνῶθι σεαυτόν: "know thyself." So we understand that authentic leadership is born from the commitment to the lifelong practice of self-reflection in pursuit of self-awareness. Through familiarity with their own life stories authentic leaders develop the capacity to make values-based decisions with confidence. They continually develop their emotional intelligence in service of more human workplaces. - Siobhán McCann
Engaging the vehicle of the voice and through the medium of storytelling we guide people to uncover and connect with their core life experiences, values, and belief systems in order to embody their full performance potential for maximal impact, wellness, fulfillment, and success.
Our River of Life workshop is designed with humans in mind, to uncover and give expression and voice to the life experiences that have contributed to the beliefs and values they embody as leaders in the world, in order to engage with, motivate, and inspire the people they lead to live into whatever they dream for them.
The workshop will be taught in English and French.*
“From the beginning of history, human life and leadership have been centered on stories—the stories of our past, who we are today, and what we may yet become. Telling stories and listening to other people’s stories shapes the meaning of our experiences and helps us awaken hidden capacity.”

LE PROGRAMME
Nous travaillons avec corps, respiration et voix pour enseigner l’art de la narration, la présentation et la communication active.
Intelligence émotionnelle accrue, confiance augmentée et présence authentique en résultent.
Le programme est 100% experientiel.
Notre approche est structurée et non hiérarchique.
À travers une série structurée d’exercices combinant les disciplines du travail de la voix, du corps, et de l’imagination du Roy Hart Theatre, cette formation mettra en avant les aptitudes intrinsèques en communication de l’individu et servira d’introduction à l’art du : Signature Storytelling. Les stagiaires embarqueront dans un voyage d’exploration sur leur Rivière de la Vie et apprendront à creuser leurs expériences personnelles, à découvrir leurs histoires d’origine et à les incarner afin de les raconter avec présence et confiance vocale. Les journées commenceront avec des échauffements physiques et vocaux, suivis de travaux individuels et en groupe intégrant la création de sons vocaux et des mouvements physiques associés. Les après-midis se concentreront sur le storytelling avec des explorations et créations individuelles, en duo et en groupe, et du travail de voix et chant dans la tradition Wolfsohn, Hart et le Roy Hart Theatre. Chaque jour s’appuiera sur ce qui a émergé les jours précédents, culminant en présentations à la fois individuelles et collectives.

“Leaders are capable of deep listening: Gandhi demonstrated that when he traveled throughout India learning the heart of his people. What distinguishes leaders... is that they find a voice that allows them to articulate the common dream.”
