Our bodies speak. Every facial expression, every gesture, every little movement is a statement. BODY TALK teaches you how to understand what you and other people are saying without words. Michael Trautman's thirty years of studying Movement has given him special insight into how we speak with our bodies. In BODY TALK Michael shares his secrets through lecture and demonstration. This highly entertaining presentation will open the eyes of students and teachers alike to the language that we all share and can already speak without even knowing it! Besides the obvious application of BODY TALK to the performing arts, the benefits of exploration into this not-so-secret language include:
Improved communication skills,
Physical fitness,
Improved gross- and fine-motor skills,
Personal and social interactions,
Self-confidence,
Public speaking improvement,
Improved awareness of others' feelings and thoughts,
Increased empathy.
