Leaders on Stage
A bootcamp for authentic leadership
10.04.2025 - 13.04.2025
09:30 - 20:00
@ Scoala Teatru de Arta
Parcul Cismigiu, Str Valter Maracineanu 1-3
@ Teatru de Arta
Str. Sf Stefan 21
A 4 full-day program in Bucharest where participants create a performance together, writing and staging a play on a real stage -in front of a guest audience.
What we work with:
The power of storytelling: How stories build community and strengthen leadership
Performance as ritual: Theatre as a powerful ceremony where participants encounter themselves in new roles and perspectives.
The role of the body: Rhythm, breath and movement as keys to presence and impact.
What is the outcome:
Breaking old patterns - awareness and discovering a new you.
Connect with your instincts, body language and emotional intelligence.
Approach tension and conflict from a place of calm and authenticity.
The challenges in life are strong and as a leader we need to stand firm – hold the space for those who follow in our footsteps. To do that we can connect to what is already there … The road is not starting and ending with the individual. The systemic contribution is offering a rootedness in the bigger story of your life – the wider system that holds us and connects us.
This is not your typical leadership training programe. It's a unique experience where theatre and ritual come together to help leaders.
Your life and leadership become the script, you are on stage- welcome transformation on body, mind and spirit. By performing on stage, you tap into everything you are and share with other participants. Each is a hero and a support role in one play, one life, one universe.

Telling my story on stage from a dignified place brings a deep healing, the most kind and warm hug to my soul. Joining the group of brave leaders in music, theatre and rhythm will create a connection beyond jobs, responsibilities and money. Raw and true.

Cosmin Alexandru
Being on stage is different than acting onstage. It’s more of a brave space, than a safe space. I’m drawn to explore what will come out when I connect my body, mind and soul to express what is true for all of them, not only for one of them. To step out in order to connect within.
