Discovering Presence, Confidence and Joy on Stage

Stage fright is one of the most common challenges faced by anyone who performs in front of an audience. Whether on stage, during presentations, concerts, lectures or examinations, the fear of performing can accompany even the most experienced professionals.

Yet stage fright is not an enemy. When understood and embraced, it can become a powerful source of energy, focus and vitality.

In this highly practical seminar, Alessio Paoletti, graduate of the renowned École Jacques Lecoq in Paris and an artist with more than forty years of international stage experience, shares effective methods for transforming stage fright into a constructive and creative force.

Through practical exercises drawn from theatre, movement, breathing techniques and mental training, they discover how to remain calm, authentic and convincing—even in demanding situations.
