Upcoming workshops in Amsterdam:
Presence: taking the acting out of performance, a performance coaching workshop with Tuaca Kelly
For newcomers to the stage and award-winning performers and celebrated speakers, your capacity to be present with your message is what moves people. Make the gift you have to share with your audience accessible and transformative for yourself and others.
"The workshop was incredibly valuable for my personal development and helped me face some fears. As someone who struggles with anxiety, stepping onto the stage has always been a daunting prospect, despite my love for performing. This workshop provided a safe environment for us to connect with our inner selves and discover our essence. It also allowed us to establish a safe space for exploration and growth with others.
During the workshop, I learned about letting go control over the audience and instead focusing on controlling my own performance. I came to understand that my position is to share something I have prepared with the audience, who are there to listen and engage with my work. Additionally, I gained insights into various techniques for delivering my work effectively, enabling me to experiment until I found a comfortable and authentic approach. As a result, I now aim to slow down my delivery, placing greater emphasis on the depth and meaning of my work.
Overall, this experience was immensely rewarding and equipped me with invaluable tips and tricks for bolstering my confidence." - Dane Prins
I enjoyed your workshop. I hadn’t done any theatre workshops in a very long time, so I think it took me a while to get comfortable in the setting and with the exercises. I think the individual exercises we tried were really helpful and I did feel more grounded after we’d worked on some of my performance. I also thought this workshop was a really good opportunity to bond with you and the other performers before the show; it made the poetry evening itself feel way more comfortable and relaxed. I think that aspect was also particularly important because it was a queer event centered around community (history). So fostering some sort of community in the run-up of the event seemed important and was well-done." - Parel Joy
'Through Tuaca's attentive and careful guidance we explored different dimensions of our performance. We learned tools to be grounded and tune into our body. Tuaca reminded us to serve the piece and stay true to our own artistic intention. She gave us detailed one on one feedback that worked for each individual in their way of performing. I learned a lot during this beautiful workshop that was fascilitated within a safe and loving environment." - Lau Zausten
Cultivating sacred touch: an experiential workshop with Tuaca Kelly
The hours spent scrolling and swiping are not without reason. Connection is a powerful motivator. Let’s shift the ritual and bring focus back to tangible reality. Put the touchscreen down. There is something more precious for you to share and behold. It begins with your presence. It asks for you to show up.
In this workshop we will gently coax and nuance sensory perception to enhance individual innate sensing abilities through breath, movement, mindfulness and observation as preparation for engaging in sacred touch with others. Sacred touch can be defined and experienced as quality of touch that combines anatomical mechanics, intuition, empathic perception, centering and thoughtfulness with a sense of intimate definitive presence and a sincere desire to serve the present moment.
Participate in this workshop to enhance your capacity for intimacy, connection, reception and quality of consensual sacred touch.
Psyche & the song: an engaging songwriting workshop, with Tuaca Kelly
Fueled with a redemptive spirit of truth, the songwriter is at heart a storyteller aiming to discover and share perspective about human interaction, perseverance, spiritual quests, rites of passage, wit, sex and most certainly - love. This workshop offers pre-writing exercises - for the body, brain and psyche to function in alignment - a period to write* on purpose, and an opportunity to safely share and discuss your work.
This workshop is for individuals developing their song-writing craft and have interest in writing lyrical songs. All levels of experience are welcome.
Bring a pencil or pen and notebook or paper. We are here to write!
Agape & Eros: summoning a sacred sexual union, with Tuaca Kelly
“Sexuality is very spiritual in nature... That’s a God given gift...” - Prince Rogers Nelson
Intimacy and quiet mind are fleeting moments in a world driving itself to anticipate, plan and predict. This habituated mental activity contributes to chronic pain, emotional stress, mental illness and takes the present moment for granted. So how can we connect to the untapped potential of our own incredible body let alone connect to the soul of our most beloved? This intimate gathering will be a safe-space for you to explore your untapped potential and the dynamic aspects of presence as a foundation for summoning a union of sacred sexual energy within yourself and betwixt you and your partner. This workshop is open to solos, couples and the triplet in fidelity.
