“The workshop opened up a whole new world for me“. Lauren Flannery, Hobart

Conducted by internationally acclaimed performer, director & workshop facilitator Tom Greder, his 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.

PANORAMA WORKSHOPS

In addition to performances, Panorama Kino Theatre offers workshops, tailored community & school projects and mentoring opportunities for local artists which increase the positive impact it has on the communities it visits. Part of Panorama’s sustainable touring initiative, it actively looks for opportunities which broaden the scope of how Panorama and its artists contributes to the development of cultural and community health. 

SCHOOL WORKSHOPS

The cultural development of our school children is an essential part of their integration into the ever more challenging world we live in. Creative exploration encourages self-awareness, identity & collaboration and gives students a voice to communicate, articulate & exchange their fears & dreams, their imagination and their place in the world. 

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

The workshops are based on “Play” as being the fundamental expression of human exploration, creativity and the basis of meaningful communication. This state of “Play” promotes a freedom of fantasy, movement and speech and promotes an enjoyable, productive and trusting learning environment where participants feel safe to explore.

The workshops are designed and conducted to make self-expression and the exploration of theatre an enjoyable, inclusive and empowering experience are conducted in English, German, Swiss-German, French, Spanish or with a translator.

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.
