CORINNA MANISHA LENNEIS

Corinna Lenneis ist Regisseurin, Schauspielerin und Schauspielcoach, ausgebildet an der renommierten Guildford School of Acting (GSA) in England und hält weltweit Schauspielworkshops.

Sie begleitet Anfänger*innen und fortgeschrittene Schauspielschüler*innen bei ihrer Weiterentwicklung für die Bühne und das Leben. Jede/r Teilnehmende ist unterschiedlich und braucht für sich passende Methoden. Corinna hat durch ihre Erfahrung, die sie international (z.B. in England, Deutschland, den USA, Indien, Nepal, Österreich, Afrika) gesammelt hat, eine umfangreiche Toolbox, die es ihr ermöglicht, auf individuelle Wachstumsprozesse präzise und passgenau einzugehen.

Corinna erkennt dabei, wo Du aktuell stehst, sie bestärkt Dich in Deinen bereits vorhandenen Fähigkeiten und begleitet Dich dabei, Dein Potential Schritt für Schritt zu entfalten.

Corinna ist auch in anderen künstlerischen Bereichen tätig: sie malt, schreibt, tanzt und spielt Violine.

Weiters ist sie Lebensberaterin in Ausbildung unter Supervision.

Ihre Mission ist sehr simpel: die Welt zu einem schöneren Ort zu machen, Authentizität, Kreativität, Lebensfreude und Liebe zu steigern und das Leid zu vermindern. Und Menschen dabei zu unterstützen, das zu tun, wonach ihr Herz sich sehnt und ihr Wesen jubiliert.
