Do you find yourself sitting in front of your screen more often than you'd like? In this workshop, we propose some administrative shortcuts, while inspiring creativity by integrating some stimulating physical activities. We will flow back and forth between the screen and the body, as we so often do in our working lives. Computer admin work is boring but unavoidable, while body work is healing magic, so we thought to merge the two in this workshop. We will offer some practical computer and internet skills; show useful keyboard command shortcuts; suggesting free versions of spreadsheets and photo editing software to avoid paying the big corporations; explain how to successfully connect a beamer; and provide some answers to the question “Why don’t I have any space left on my computer?” Each nugget of information will be coupled with a physical or somatic task to activate the body and integrate the information with humor and sensation. This workshop will be mostly Mac-focused, but anyone is welcome to join, regardless of your operating system orientation.
Please bring your own laptop!

The workshop will be held in spoken English, questions in spoken German are no problem.
