Verbal Communications

Verbal Communications Icon

Designed and facilitated by a communications specialist with extensive experience training artists in public speaking and leadership skills, the Verbal Communications workshop includes lectures, small group activities and hands-on exercises to improve interpersonal communications and public speaking skills. It covers such topics as how to be authentic and comfortable talking about your work in social situations and how to successfully pitch your work or ask for money in meetings with presenters and funders. Participants identify their goals and objectives in order to more effectively and accurately represent themselves and their work. During the workshop, participants have the opportunity to give a short presentation in order to receive guidance on content, verbiage, physical behavior and body language. This workshop is available for groups of up to 20 artists.
