Theatre workshops based on verbal and non-verbal communication skills, August 25th 2023, Université de Reims Champagne-Ardenne (URCA)

François intervened during the Bioceb induction week in two workshops with 10-15 students each. Based on verbal and non-verbal communication, the workshops contributed to breaking the ice between the foreign students, getting them to experience playful theatre group exercises. Here are some examples of exercises:
 Group warming in circle: opening to others, breathing exercises, anchoring, stretching...;
 rythm and dancing exercises with music;
 group coordination exercises and hugging;
 training on sensations and emotions;
 short improvisations with different emotions;
 exercise based on: I love/ I hate;
 short monologues in front of the whole group: "tell us about a feast/holiday in your family/country".
