Creator of Movements

Be movedMove your world

I create movement in people, in rooms and in society. The signature keynote The Move is a talk in the form of a performance, with live coaching and gait readings on stage.

Plan the whole event
What Kyrre Texnæs offers is so new and so different. But I got it, and every top CEO will get it and ask how they can give this to their management team and their best people.
Thomas Anglero, Nordic Director Innovation, IBM
Keynote

The aha moment happens before the eyes of the room.

I open with movement, before words, and read the room live as we go.

Live coaching: A participant on stage

Live coaching on stage

Participants come up, and the room sees how a small change in the body changes the whole expression.

Gait reading

The way we walk tells how we lead, sell and meet others. I read it, and show how it can be adjusted.

An experience, not an ordinary keynote

The room takes part, not just attends. What they experience stays in the body long after the day is over.

The whole event

We start at the core.

Many events have good talks, artists and entertainment, but each on its own. I help you see the event as a whole, so that art, theme and goal become one experience.

1. The core

Before the event

Sparring on what the participants should leave with. The dramaturgy of the day, and how the artists you have chosen can become part of the theme.

2. The stage

On the day

Coaching of the host and speakers before they go on. Keynote, production or both, delivered by me and the ensemble.

3. The track

After the event

You choose what to keep working on: Sales, leadership development, entrepreneurship, strategy or culture.

Game of the Gap

Productions you can book

As a short piece, an interactive session or a full production.

Samklang (Resonance)

Opening

Movement and sound together. The fastest way to a sense of community, with the room as the choir and the body as the conductor. With one musician, an ensemble or a full orchestra.

In development

Dancing in sync with others increases bonding and raises the pain threshold. Singing together builds closeness faster in new groups.Tarr et al., Oxford, 2016 · Pearce et al., 2015

Signature

Energy

Each participant finds their own movement. Together they become one choreography, stronger because everyone is different.

New hires who got to show what was unique about them stayed longer in the job.Cable, Gino and Staats, 2013

In development

The Distance

Deepening

On contact and presence. How close is close enough, and what happens when we truly see each other?

Eye contact activates the brain's social areas more strongly than looking at a picture of a face.Hirsch et al., Yale, 2017

Used in the workshops for Deichman

Words that move

Deepening

Communication that lands. Words become movement, and movement gives the words power.

When communication succeeds, the listener's brain activity couples with the speaker's.Stephens, Silbert and Hasson, Princeton, 2010

With Norwegian PEN · In development

Poems and drinks

Evening

Poems by imprisoned writers performed live, while the drink that carries their story is made on stage. The audience can taste the story afterwards.

Made with Norwegian PEN, which works for freedom of expression and persecuted writers.

Supersensing

Highlight

Intuition and collective intelligence. Sensing what the group needs before anyone has said it.

A group's collective intelligence is linked more to the ability to read each other than to the intelligence of its members.Woolley et al., Science, 2010

In development

The Sticks

Work session

Strategy in motion. How a leadership team quickly gathers around what matters most.

Groups where everyone gets equal speaking time solve tasks better together.Woolley et al., Science, 2010

Used in the strategy work with Sentralen

Movements

Movement in a larger sense.

The keynotes are part of a larger agenda: To mobilise us as people where art, business and society meet.

Arts and cultureThe inner. Who we are and what we feel.
BusinessWhat we do. Action and results.
Community developmentThe system. How we are connected.

Home ground is Sentralen in Oslo, where I bring together artists, leaders, founders and social innovators in Sentralen beveger. Partners in the productions include Norwegian PEN.

Coaching

After the event.

1:1 coaching for owners, leaders and creatives who want to keep working on body language, presence and how they move others. A gait reading as the way in, a result you can point to as the goal. Most start with one session and continue in a programme.

Community
