What you'll do
Do you want to look someone in the eye with calm openness? Do you know how to hug in a way that builds trust and connection? Are you ready to finally say the things you only ever think; the ones that clog your communication and creative flow?
Atlas Talisman is a facilitator who brings participants into deep connection with their feelings, offering tools to unlock expression and build a culture of brave honesty.
Open World Theatre’s Human Interaction Labs are liberating spaces that turn interaction into both an art and a science – a chance to study the subtle energetic shifts that happen face to face, and to train in expanding our range as human beings.
Being “authentic” isn’t always polished or eloquent. Sometimes the truth feels awkward, messy, or uncomfortable. But in this workshop, Atlas holds space for all of it; the mucky, gorgeous, tender, and raw actuality of being human.
You’ll be guided through exercises that use body, voice, and presence to explore honest communication. Expect moments of laughter, vulnerability, and surprising insight as you practice meeting yourself and others more openly.
Please note: This class requires at least 5 students to run. In the unlikely event that we don't get this number of students, we'll cancel the class and fully refund you and inform you via email, so please watch your email a few days prior to the class.
