Workshops

Speaking Up

Learn Tools to be Heard


As dancers, we often work in a culture of silence, where speaking up can feel difficult. This workshop helps dancers develop essential communication skills, empowering them to express their ideas, concerns, and needs more effectively.

Participants will learn:
How to speak up with confidence
Who to address and what to communicate
How to navigate power dynamics in the workplace

Using a detailed mind map, dancers will understand the process of speaking up, including how to document incidents and make informed decisions. This workshop will foster greater responsiveness, accountability, and a healthier work environment.
