Being on camera or on stage can be stressful. But there are tricks to learning how to do it. With the right attitude, breathing, and concentration, you can achieve a lot. Instructor Angelika Ahrens has been presenting business news on ORF television for 20 years and has hosted major events on stage in front of thousands of viewers, heads of state and government, and royalty. ORF is one of the most important TV stations in German-speaking Europe. She has also reached the semi-finals of Dancing with the Stars in Austria - live every Friday with millions of viewers. Special yoga exercises, meditation, music therapy, breathing, and concentration techniques have helped her achieve all this. She is excited to share her knowledge, tips, and tricks in this workshop. Presenting yourself well is also extremely important for business people. Especially when it comes to social media. Angelika has a strong background in journalism and live moderation, is a qualified yoga teacher, and attended the world's first Breath Technology Congress in NY.

With smart technology, we can all make movies. With smartphones and tablets, we often already have the tools we need at home. This includes filming, editing, and publishing.

In this workshop, you will learn how to improve the quality of your videos and find out how the professionals at TV stations work. 

Angelika Ahrens worked for 20 years in front of and behind the camera at ORF TV in Vienna, Austria, one of the most important TV stations and news sources in German-speaking Europe.
