We are dedicated to the study and practice of the art of Creative Speech. Creative Speech raises the spoken word to a new level of consciousness and effectiveness by accessing imagination, breath, sounds and movement.
Creative Speech
Creative Speech brings insight into the mysteries of language and the world by molding, shaping, imagining, and breathing life into the spoken word.
The practice of Creative Speech generates a conscious use of imagination, language, breath and movement to enhance speech and its effectiveness, bringing life to the arts of:
Teaching
Conversation
Storytelling
Public Speaking
Drama
Poetry
Writing
