This module consists of 2 courses and is presented in two stages with a practical part in which students can practice, in pairs or in small groups, theatrical practices for better presence and better listening in the therapeutic relationship.

This module takes place in two stages:

1/ Technical and individual work on breathing, articulation and voice, alongside work with the body.

2/ Work around emotions, listening and imagination through improvisation.

This module focuses on human communication in its practical aspect, which involves the acquisition of specific skills.
The student finds himself in the situation of the actor in improvisation and this technical work will have the effect of releasing his tensions and also of offering the person a better availability of presence and listening.

Each course is organized in two parts, one gives pride of place to breathing, voice, articulation, the other to improvisation.

First part

• Breathing

Practice of abdominal breathing which involves the diaphragm: it is a fuller, deeper, slower breath and a great anti-stress. It obliges us to stand up straight, therefore available and present in the relationship with the other.

• voice and articulation

The exercises for the voice and the articulation make it possible to work the breathing and the muscular relaxation of the face. It is a great anti-stress tool.  

•  The body 

Body language is the first information we transmit to others. Through improvisation, we learn to become aware of it and to better control it.

• The emotions

The emotions used here are anger, joy, sadness, fear, surprise, disgust. To better regulate them, it is important to know them and to experience them voluntarily. This is what is proposed here with the help of exercises.

Part two : improvisation

Listen to others, develop empathy and imagination through theatrical improvisation.

The general rules of improvisation.

• Total listening is a key factor in successful improvisation . It is by listening to each other that you can build a coherent and common story.
• Acceptance . Always say “ Yes ”. I accept the proposal of my partner and I in turn propose something to advance the story. Even if some proposals may seem totally outlandish, you have to remain open , not be surprised, agree to extend your comfort zone and broaden the field of possibilities. The “ Yes ” symbolizes an attitude of openness.
• Get started, dare, trust yourself. Launching without text and without being able to anticipate can seem scary. Yet there is no reason to be afraid because failure does not exist in improvisation! Improvisation is a great way to take a fresh look at our obstacles and our fears.
• The sharing. The individualities and talents of each are valued by the collective .

• Learn to communicate a text, a story, an emotion in a different way.
• Through improvisation, experience active listening.
• Learn new stress management techniques.
• Overcome your fears, your limits, get out of the box.
