Staging the imagination

Vonneke Beeker & Anton Stellamans Workshop on Staging the Imagination. How theatre principles help to understand our work. We are taught to believe that change happens when we effectively do something about the situation we are confronted with. That’s why we tend to look for the next steps and solutions to fix our old problems. Solution Focus, however, takes a different route to change. Instead of following the classic cause-effect logic, we rely on the power of imagination to make change flow more naturally.

Cédric Broux

My name is Cédric Broux. I am a Parkour and Freerunning athlete, deeply and passionately involved in the sport since 2013. I love to work on small projects for brands to promote their products or schools for educational purposes. I travel to events to meet up with professional athletes who share the same passion for movement. The fun you experience practising Parkour, the physical and mental skills you gain, drives us to build a community consisting of talented and creative athletes of all ages.
