Train Attention: SMALL TALK
Advertisement
Feel at ease starting and keeping conversations with new people. 90 minutes of attention training through actor exercises
About this Event

Small talk feels awkward when all our attention is on ourselves: “What do I say next?” This week we turn that attention outward, to the other person. That’s where easy conversation starts.

What you’ll practice

  • Noticing and remembering details about people
  • Listening so you always know what to say next
  • Starting and keeping a conversation going without pressure

How it works
Every class trains your attention. We start with core attention exercises that we repeat every week, so they become automatic. Then we apply that attention to the focus of the week: small talk, confidence, voice or improv. Come every week for the full cycle, or join any class.

Everything happens in pairs and small groups. Nobody is put on the spot.

Who it’s for
Anyone who wants a clearer head and an easier time with people. No acting experience needed. Coming solo? Perfect. Most exercises are done in pairs, so you’ll meet people right away.

Your host
Eevahn is a professional actor trained at drama school. These are the exercises actors use every day to stay present on stage, adapted for everyday life. Featured on RTVI.

Good to know

  • Small group of 3 to 16 people, in English
  • Wear comfortable clothes you can move in
  • Bring a photo ID for the building entrance
  • The room number is sent the day before
