Workshop Body Language for Women

There are many myths and a lot of ‘instructions’ about body language in popular literature: This is right, this is wrong, you should never do that or that, but this gesture is good for sure... maybe you've even read one of the many books about it.

But in body language there is only one right way: your very personal one. Because charisma and presence is not built through trained gestures - it arises when we know our very own body language possibilities and make full use of them.

In this workshop you will learn how to develop your individual body language. At the beginning we will discuss what body language is and how our own and the body language of others affects us. Then you will learn how to recognize your strengths in expression and how to position yourself self-confidently, but also how to align yourself respectfully.

An excursion into gender and performance will show you socialized stereotypical gender-behavior and its effects on body language.

The workshop always remains practice-oriented and close to everyday life: all acquired knowledge is put to the test, individualized and deepened in exercises distributed throughout the workshop.

You will be able to recognize and maintain your safe space and negotiate it, when necessary.

You can contribute to challenge gender stereotypes and biases.
