Connecting to the jury using Movement – In this FREE short introduction to each of the Movement courses, we will touch upon what will be gained by participating in the 6-hour courses provided at www.theaterofthecourtroom.com
#1 - From the Stage to the Courtroom: Improvisation & Effective and Dynamic Communication for Lawyers - You know what you want to say, but how will you say it to bring your audience (of one or many) to you and your points? In the dynamic workshop you will learn to harness the skills of improvisation and find a physical and vocal integrity to fully engage whoever you encounter. We'll go in pursuit of what makes you enthralling; your personal and specific relationship to communication at your most playful, ferocious, honest and open with a colossal desire to connect and show. Dare to raise the stakes and offer us what you care about! These energizing sessions will help you develop quick thinking, adaptability, and authentic communication in high-pressure situations. Through interactive exercises, participants will learn to embrace spontaneity, connect with their audience, and add humor and humanity to their practice. Whether you're addressing a jury, negotiating with clients, or collaborating with colleagues, this workshop offers valuable tools to build confidence, presence, and rapport.
#2 - Alexander Technique for Trial Attorneys – Learn skills to deal with the nerves that get in the way - When on trial, nerves can get in the way. But you can acquire the tools necessary to quiet the nervous system when faced with the stimulus of a trial. This class is designed to provide you, the trial attorney, with a reliable method to help you feel more comfortable both physically and mentally when you are on trial. You will learn how the Alexander Technique works and how to apply it so you can be more grounded, centered and poised in the courtroom. For example, you will learn to identify your tension habits, both physical and mental, and once you have become aware of them, you will then learn to release them. You will not only feel calmer but will also discover that you are physically less compressed and more comfortable. In short, with the Alexander Technique, you will discover how you can both improve your performance in the courtroom and actually enjoy trying cases more.
