Rainmaker Programme outline
| NATURAL BODY, BREATH AND VOICE - Your personal voice Our personal authenticity lies in the rediscovery of our natural body position and our natural breathing cycles which release our personal voice. The most subtle of changes to our physicality that SOSPIRO gently encourages makes enormous differences to how we are sensed, heard and connect with others. |
SOUND EQUALS SENSE - Shakespeare and Us Work on Shakespeare Sonnets and great soliloquies illuminates the emotional undertow behind great texts. The sequential flow of thought and line opens up understandings of how we can become more influential, persuasive speakers. By speaking words we understand them. The voice and the word connect with each other and show how we can carry an audience on a journey through narrative and emotion. |
MUSIC AND EMOTION - Powerful Structures and Communications Music has the power to create real emotion, and nowhere was this better understood than in Classical Greece.The four Greek Modes (or 'moods') of Earth, Air, Fire and Water are an introduction to the emotional underground that music adds to text as we speak it. Words and music combine to open up new understandings of how to create variety and colour in our own speech, and is a framework for constructing compelling and powerful speeches and presentations that connect to everyone |
| NATURAL BODY, BREATH AND RHYTHM - The Power of the Word The connection of our body and breath to rhythm awakes a sense of connection to words, and the power of the word. Chorus work from epic texts of Classical Greek Theatre, alongside rhythmic drumming patterns coordinates our breath, voice and body so that we reconnect to the emotion behind our use of words. |
PRESENCE
- The Three Circles of Energy Our personal success relies on our ability to connect with our colleagues or audiences in a dynamic, two-way flow of energy and communication that is exciting, powerful and real. The Three Circles of Energy help us connect with and understand others. Using our body, breath and voice, Presence is a gateway to increased personal power |
CURTAIN UP! Unleash your personal power. Writing powerful words that connect to our audiences, and constructing music that mirrors the emotional journey of the words is the climax of the SOSPIRO experience. |
