“My colleagues and I had a wonderful time.”
“The workshop offered a perfect balance between theory and practice.”
“Each piece of information was shared with such passion that it made for a captivating experience.”
“On the one hand, we learned about the history and background of the artist, their career and works, through a dynamic presentation combining photos, videos and music.”
“On the other hand, the practical side allowed us to experiment with techniques specific to the artist, with clear and accessible explanations.”
“This balanced and exciting mix allowed us to delve into our own artistic universe and express our creativity with confidence.”
“I highly recommend this workshop!”
An extraordinary team experience, proven over 9 years of practice with more than 1'000 participants.
Stéphane Ducret proposes an off site group experience that breaks away from the daily work routine, to generate new interactions between team members.
A relaxed experience in order to create an intimacy, to get out of the ordinary and to give the feeling of living something unique.
For half a day (2h30-3h approx.), your collaborators put themselves in the shoes of an artist to discover or rediscover postmodern and contemporary art:
Stéphane Ducret presents a complete slide-show on the artists that are the themes of the workshop.
Then, with the help of his assistants, he will gather you in groups to paint "in the manner of..." and gives you simple instructions that everyone can follow.
Combine this with an aperitif or meal and your afternoon or evening will be complete and successful.
