Using methods and exercises drawn from the field of theater, participants work on their nonverbal communication in teaching and research: After training in self-perception and perception of others, as well as in focused observation and raising awareness of the topic of body language, participants practice conscious body language through acting exercises, role-playing, and short improvisations.
 

The goal of the seminar is to expand participants’ individual range of nonverbal expression and improve their stage presence, enabling them to deliver their own presentations or lectures in a convincing, authentic, and effective manner.

We offer the opportunity to practice both in a real lecture hall and in a digital setting. The workshop is structured as follows:

• 19.01.2027: Fundamentals of body language with exercises (presence)
• 20.01.2027: Application in the lecture hall (presence)
• 02.02.2027: Application in a video conference (online)

19.01. is a mandatory part of the workshop; you can decide for yourself whether to also participate on January 20, February 2, or oth days.

Participants

• will master techniques and exercises to prepare physically, vocally, and mentally for a presentation,
• will be able to recognize and compare nonverbal cues and evaluate their impact,
