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
