About Our Speakers:
Natalia Kantor (Partner, Creative Director)
When you first meet Natalia, it’s easy to mistake her for a super hero. There’s no hiding from her laser like vision. No matter who you are, she has an uncanny ability to see past all your masks right to your heart centre. She’ll take you on a video journey of self-discovery. With love & compassion she’ll peel off layer after layer of inhibition and pull out your true essence. Then using her creative genius she’ll show how amazing you are to the rest of the world. A memorable onscreen presence comes from being comfortable with oneself, a bit of silliness, playing with costumes and props, lots of creative camaraderie, and taking life a little less seriously!
Jan Keck (Partner, Video Magician)
When the doorbell rings, don’t be surprised to find Jan there holding balloons and a party horn ready to make your day better. He’ll catch you off guard with his unique and quirky sense of humour that he brings to everything he does. Fun is his secret weapon and he uses it to break down all your walls of nervousness and doubt. He gives you permission to be silly and with a fun loving approach, let’s you relax and be yourself.
But don’t let his silliness fool you! He comes armed with industry leading video techniques ready to capture your authentic self on film. After all he’s got a German engineering degree.
Please note that each workshop has limited seating.
