Kleiner Rhetorikkurs
mit Beat Rink

Wer kennt das nicht: Wir werden gebeten, eine kleine oder grössere Rede zu halten. Vielleicht sollen aus unserem (Glaubens-)Leben erzählen, einen geistlichen Input geben oder ein längere Rede halten. Und sicher haben wir alle schon Artikel verfassen müssen. Wie packt man das an? Worauf sollte man achten? Welche Fehler vermeiden? Dieser kleine (deutschsprachige) Rhetorikkurs soll Ängste wegnehmen und helfen, mutig eigene Texte zu schreiben und packend zu reden.
Man kann auch gern vorher einen kurzen Text schicken, der dann u.U. behandelt wird an brink@crescendo.org
Beat Rink ist schriftstellerisch tätig und hat u.a Germanistik studiert.
Salsa dancing

"...Wearing a linen ephod, David was dancing before the Lord with all his might (Samuel 6:14)”
And so will we, during this Salsa crash-course!
Here’s an indicative but not exhaustive list of moves which will be looking at during this workshop:
- basic step
- turning left and right (for men & women)
- body-cross with and without turning
Dana and I are looking forward to meeting you!
Outdoor Activities

Choir singing
with Lara Bevilaqcua

"Let our voices rise like incense!" In this workshop we will combine the practice of circle singing with beautiful works from the sacred choral literature. The piece we create will be performed during the worship celebration. The workshop is open to everyone who enjoys exploring their voice and singing with others.
Classical improvisation
with Pauliina Haustein

Springs of Living Waters
In this workshop, cellist and classical improviser Pauliina Haustein (DMus) invites us to explore our personal musical artistry in the frame of classical improvisation, and offers tools in how improvising techniques can be used as tools for connection in both personal and communal expressions of faith. An international pedagogue of classical improvisation, Haustein's method introduces a range of improvisatory techniques rising from the Western classical canon in comfortable, small steps. No prior improvising experience necessary.
