Every interaction is a stage where power, status, and hierarchy shift—sometimes boldly, sometimes so subtly we barely notice. In this workshop, Julie and Rémi invite you to play with the invisible forces that shape our everyday encounters.

Through beginner friendly exercises, you’ll explore how status isn’t fixed—it breathes, flexes, and flips depending on context, intention, and choice. Learn to signal confidence or deference, and experiment with changing your position in the dynamic dance of interaction.

This beginner-friendly session offers a playful, supportive space to stretch your range—from commanding presence to quiet influence, from center stage to backstage power. No experience needed—just curiosity and a willingness to explore what happens when you shift how you show up.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🌟 What to Expect

😄 A supportive, open space where complete beginners learn to read and express social cues
👥 Interactive games that let you safely experiment with both leading and following roles
⚡ Dynamic exercises that reveal subtle shifts of power and hierarchy
💡 Unexpected insights, playful challenges, and plenty of laughter along the way
