Choreographing Effectiveness – Self & the Other

The workshop uses tools from Dance, Theatre, and Principles of Organizational Behaviour to embark upon a unique journey. Through the day, participants will be lead to peek into aspects of themselves through experiencing/witnessing those behaviors in other participants. Candid, gentle and guided feedback will be provided to further analyze and augment these learnings.

The value of using performance tools to “really see” oneself has been adopted in development and spiritual practices world over.
Shoonya’s team combines these practices with a playful and exciting methodology where the “other” in the space is seen as a mirror of self.

This is a window to a deep, impactful and transforming journey, one that encourages participants to practice and apply the learnings in their daily life, work and interrelational environments.

The workshop is for participants of all backgrounds, genders, and interests. It is only for those who are 18 years and above.
