The Art of Performance & Creativity

Topics include the “total nature” of the stage: acting, voice, movement, improvisation, stage direction, lighting design, and the power of story. These are hands-on experiences, based on work introduced in Tobias’ books Beyond Deception, Vol 1 & 2 and Wired for Wonder.

Focus: How to run and promote a successful business. Learn the marketing and management strategies Tobias used to book over $25 million in talent fees for some of the world’s most innovative performers, and to help them make sure their careers continued to thrive over time. Based on his book Beyond Applause: Management and Marketing for the Independent Performer.
