Artful Orators

DJ YOUR SPEECH!!

This Wednesday we have the pleasure to have Beatrix Pulinka for our ARTFUL ORATORS SPECIAL delivering a workshop on how to manage our voices!

Beatrix Pulinka was born in Hungary and at the young age of 10 she was hired by the Hungarian state radio as junior (child) reporter. A couple of years later she already presented radio programs live with or without adult colleagues and reported regularly on cultural and societal issues for kids. She finds self expression a crucial issue and she regularly returned to reporting at later stages in her life. She studied opera, architecture, film making and sculpting...all these being a different forms of self expression. One of the peculiar and fun things she does is being the voice of the GPS system in Hungarian. She believes in the importance of using our voices colorfully and purposefully, and this workshop will explore those two aspects of public speaking.

Don’t miss this special workshop where you will find out from an expert how to use your voice in public speaking and not only!

See you at The Sister Brussels Café Wednesday - January 29 as from 19:30!

Last Thursday we have had a sparkling evening where we have tried to trigger our brains, talking about the pros and cons for topics like: long vs short distance relationships, being married or bachelor, being an expat or local etc.

Then we experienced two amazing speeches from storytelling and educational projects to which all the participants shared their views at the end!

The entire evening was nicely and elegantly packed under the creative topic of Paradoxes brought by Allisha.
