WORKSHOP OVERVIEW
Based on ‘Play’ as being the fundamental expression of human creativity and the foundation of all meaningful interaction, the workshops promote a clarity of expression and a liberated, empowered stage presence for all those who want or need it.
“Toms ideas extend contemporary educational thinking on what matters most in teaching and how to stimulate powerful learning for all students”.
Professor Jenny Gore. Director,
Centre for Professional Learning in Education. Uni. of Newcastle, Australia
The inspiring and challenging sessions are suitable for anyone who wishes to explore & gain deeper insights into their latent talents & abilities, unlock their creative potential and enhance the impact of their work as artists and story tellers. They are conducted in English, German, Swiss-German or French.
“FINDING COMEDY” WORKSHOPS
Discover and utilise the full range of your creative resources.
Develop a more articulate, meaningful and personally relevant form of expression in your work…and laugh while you do it !
“The workshop opened up a whole new world for me“. Lauren Flannery, Hobart
Toms’ distinct approach focuses on the relationship between the ‘Person’, ‘Character’ and ‘Artist’ in all of us. By understanding, exploring and harmonising the often conflicting nature of these “inner voices”, participants gain a clearer awareness of themselves, their talents and their creative process.
The individually tailored workshops explore and promote creative abilities, latent talents, self-awareness and effective communication and are conducted in English, German, Swiss-German, French, Spanish or with a translator.

“I just couldn’t stop and the words just kept coming out of me”. Chris, 14 years old

Corporate team-building & creativity workshops
With an extensive background in physical theatre and interactive comedy performance, directing and teaching, Tom Greder works closely with organisers in designing and facilitating creativity, team-building & leadership workshops throughout the world.
“Tom possesses an extensive comprehension and an enormous capacity
to introduce innovative elements into the project”.
Isabel Heiniger & Christoph Breitenmoser – Swiss Expo 2002
The objective of the workshops are to maximise individual & group communication and creativity within the given parameters of a company methodology.
By exploring theatrical elements inherent in all interaction and communication, participants discover not only their own identity, strengths and limitations, but also those of the people around them. The result is an honesty and intuitive sensitivity which encourages an inclusive, flexible approach to people, ideas and situations.
