Klaus Hasselbacher, identical sessions at Thursday 15:15-16:15 and 16:45-17:45
This seminar teaches different methods and ways to enhance our rehearsal of moves and routines. Beginning with the selection of the topic (which routine suits me and my abilities?) we will go on talking about salami slicing, mental and pantomimic rehearsal, advantages and disadvantages of using a mirror and of using music. There will be interesting themes like “the flowerpot principle of rehearsal intervals”. All of this is going to be demonstrated on the basis of a false transfer
D1: Pannel discussion about our declaration against abuse [B+A]
We discuss our declaration against abuse and violation which can be signed by members
host: Volker de Haas, Thursday 16:45-17:45
What can we do as prevention? What is our responsibility as a fellowship? What challenge do we see as a consequence of massive exposures of child abuse during the last few month and the role of Christians in these cases? How do we deal severely with the fear to pass individual borders in physical contacts on stage?
These are important questions we want to hold off the AGM. Therefore we would like to give a chance to discuss them beforehand.

S3: The magic effect [B+A]
What makes a magic routine strong?

Meanwhile we have started a series of articles in the “Zauberstab” about the so-called flexagons. These articles are taken out of Bob Hill´s manual.

In this seminar Marc will give us a whole lot of ideas and effects for a show at Christmas time. How do I put a winter or Christmas touch to my children’s, stand up, mental or close up program?
