In-Person Group: Career-Transition, A Journey
Four 4-hour sessions in a small group of max. 6 participants.
Dates: Fridays from noon to 4 p.m.:
April 1st
April 29th
Mai 27th
the fourth date will be in June or September and will be mutually agreed upon with participants.
Where is your starting point? Prepare and strengthen yourself for the journey. Bring all of your resources, competencies and interests from your life on stage into the present moment. Consolidate and create your personal landscape of needs and possibilities. After this preparatory exploration, go and explore the outer world. After a few weeks, we come back together and review the path you took, align it within the framework of your inner world, maintain or adjust your focus, and create the next steps, bringing your ideas down to earth, and building a firm ground for them.
We draw on the strength of connectedness, support and diversity of the group, and at the same time provide enough space to develop individual solution strategies.
Workshop language: German or English, depending on the needs of the group.
Cost: donation-based (suggested donation 50 €)
Facilitated by Dagmar Regorsek: solution-oriented psychoanalytical-systemic coach, facilitator for Transition workshops through Stiftung Tanz Berlin

This group is made possible by generous support from the Imhoff Foundation.
Some examples of participants:
The dancer Maja* recently sustained a serious injury in a rehearsal. She is in the process of rehabilitation, but is unsure if she will eventually be able to rejoin her company and is looking for peer support and confidential sharing of information with others.
The violinist Robert* is weighing his wish to start a family against the financial precariousness of life as a freelance musician. He is thinking about possibilities for developing a second career path, either in tandem with his work as a musician, or as a full career-change.
The actor Benjamin* is thinking of expanding his roles within the acting community to screenwriting or directing. He is wondering how to apply the skills learned as an actor in new fields.
Lucia* has been on the same career track since early childhood- becoming a concert pianist. Now in her mid-30s, she is asking if she truly made the decision to be a musician herself, and would like to explore that question in connection with other performing artists who were placed on a career track long before they could rationally choose it.
*names and identifying information are changed to protect identity.
These are just a few stories of performing artists who express the desire for a protected community in which they can discuss issues related to career change and professional restructuring.
