I.AM ´s unique concept is futuristic. Why? 

​

​

• FRESH: I.AM offers teachings from professional & working actors, directors, agents, industry people. Why? Because inspiration is at its best when fresh from "the field". You will benefit from teachings that are alive, vibrant, close to the industry and rich in fresh experience!

My mission at I.AM is to bring I.AM artists together: THE TRIBE is an artistic bunch of talents meeting in Mallorca to make films, enhance their skills and empower their personality.

​

In the corporate world  I.AM being called the N°1 Presence & Personality Trainer in German speaking countries; CEO´s and business/public speakers are my clients since 2013. My method "Physical Awareness" helps any performer to reach her/his next level of confidence, intuition and self determination. Specific physical and visual meditations (some with a sword) get both, actors and business people, to step into their potential, get inspired and be rather decisive.
