Well, it’s summer or at least warm in each of our cities we run the Experience. You will be an active learner and tourist. You might want to pack to get into some great yoga and Pilates studios, visit some incredible restaurants, enjoy local sports and see shows and concerts on Broadway or Madison Square Garden (when in NYC), so pack accordingly. You might also want to leave enough room in your suitcase for your local shopping expeditions.
For the communication module – it would be worth reading the material we provide you on the Sanford Meisner technique.
For the art module – the welcome pack provides sufficient materials for you to play and trial mixing colours and painting before you arrive. We will provide materials in the classes.
For the music module: Ready to have fun and create your own sound!
For the innovation module – we would be thrilled if you had some ideas that you would like to be shared and workshopped. Please call us prior to the Experience starting and we can try and incorporate this into the sessions.
Because there are 21 hours of active learning in the 5-day experience.
No. We provide a set amount of group learnings, functions, events and experiences. All rest of the time is yours to spend by yourself, with your partner, friends, or some of your learning group immersing and exploring this great city. There are great yoga and Pilates studios, shows, restaurants, sporting events and much more in each of the great cities.
This provides your independence if you want it, or we can help you connect, or even tag along with us if interested.
