His Workshops
The art of dominance
In every life situation, in every social context, we are surrounded by
power structures. Every single interaction, every act of communication
is partly determined by the distribution of power among the
participants.
But what exactly is dominance? What is it based on and how does it
emerge? How is dominance put into practice? And what is the difference
between power and dominance?
In
the workshop we will search for answers to these questions. Using
examples from the mythical, historical and biographical realm, the
participants will determine their own dominance type and broaden their
personal understanding of dominance.
After we have deepened our theoretical knowledge of dominance and its
principles, we will improve our practical understanding through
improvisation and role play.
How can I build up dominance? How can I consciously deal with power
structures and use them purposefully?
In exercises in pairs and in groups we will play with power and
practice establishing dominance. We will work with everyday situations
and their inherent moments of dominance. We will analyse them,
understand them and manipulate them. To illustrate the dominance types
that were previously established, we will apply them to the styles of
dominance that arise in the exercises.
After acquiring theoretical knowledge about types of dominance and
power structures and getting some hands-on experience, every
participant should apply what he or she has learned and establish
his/her power in a given situation.
