What for?

From the use of uselessness.

Unconditional, purposeless play makes possible.

Beyond strategy, calculation and benefit orientation Unternehmenskunst Clown opens up unconventional playing fields for employees to experiment without shame or purpose, to expand their action and reaction competence, strengthen their resilience and discover newfound motivation with a plethora of ideas.

Playgrounds for creativity, co-creativity and innovation.

The clown principles of playing and acting empower your employees to deal with unforeseen challenges in an agile way, they spark exceptional points of view and imaginative answers.

Purposeless, unpredictable, promising.

Why that?

The intention of artistry within your company.

A lot is in motion.

Due to external crises and their effects, the structures that have been in place until now are currently being seriously questioned in many companies.

Change processes taking place in many areas are putting a considerable strain on otherwise available social and communication resources.

In my experience, this development is also impacting the work outcome: decisions are difficult, ideas are lacking, change is disliked, opportunities pass by unnoticed, and fun has crept away secretly along with motivation.

Personnel development in motion.

This is exactly where Unternehmenskunst Clown steps in and playfully stimulates the attitude towards work, the manner of working – HOW work is done with each other: with which presence, intuition, vigilance, curiosity, determination, and joy.

How does this work?

For soloists.

Try, dare, shine – individual training or group work on the topics of physical and vocal expressiveness, perception, charisma and stage presence.

Leading & Following – an exploration of one’s own leadership behavior at the level of body language.

Within ensemble.

Play, discover, strengthen – workshop on the clown’s attitude and way of acting.

We work with different methods and approaches from the fields of improvisation, acting, Body work, perception and ensemble training.

Playing makes possible.

Creativity, self-confidence, determination, ensemble spirit, action and design competence are strengthened.

Playing sparks invention.

As overall concept.

Week 1 – Ignite

The project is initially ignited with an on-site INTERVIEW at your company. 1-2 interviewers collect impulses for developing the artistic Interventions in impromptu conversation situations.

Week 3 – Smile

2-3 weeks later a clown duo interacts and improvises in the offices or recreational spaces of your business based on the developped ideas for INTERVENTIONS.

A friendly, low-threshold invitation to take a look, to pause, to smile. In other words: to a first irritation, a first reflection. Because lovingly and mercilessly, the clown holds up an inspirational mirror to all participants through their play.

Week 10 – Be inspired

Some time later your employees are invited to change their perspective from audience to actors: WORKSHOP participation enables the experience-oriented anchoring of the clown’s attitude.

The WORKSHOP focuses on responsiveness, resilience, confidence, team spirit, joy of playing, action, and design competence.

Inspiring foundation for each participant’s own ‚professional stage‘.

What are the costs?

The earlier, the less.

Lack of motivation, declining employee engagement, rising termination rates – you know better than anyone what the costs are.

Where are the ideas for successful transformation, sustainable innovation, valuated cooperation and long-term competitive advantage?

They are glimmering in the minds of each and every employee. Unternehmenskunst Clown ignites these ideas.

Together we will arrange the perfect fitting fireworks display for your employees and your company.

Attractive, distinctive & effective.

Who came up with it?

Clown and consultant.

Heike Stock. Bachelor Professional in Business (CCI), Systemic Consultant, ADK®-Body Educator, Graduated Clown.

I grew up in a family of entrepreneurs. My first professional training as a classic confectionery saleswoman has all but vanished from the job market. Fortunately, you can still find exquisite cakes, exceptional pastries and excellent chocolatery here and there.

Starting with Florentine cake and coffee, still served in little pots, there came further important stations in my professional life: hotel manager, consultant specialized in banking industry controlling and trainer in the vocational training program as a stage clown.

There is one thing that I could see at every stage: joy works, and has many different effects. Wherever it exists, people tend to feel comfortable, make contact differently, work together in a different way, have different ideas.

The concept of Business Artistry bundles all of my competencies, knowledge, inclinations, eccentricities, preferences, ignorance, skills and magical powers in an ideal and particularly effective manner. It brings together my many years of experience in numerous private-sector businesses with well-founded field experience in the culture industry, particularly as a clown.
