This is a flagship workshop of Roman MC. Through engaging group activities, discover the power of expanding one’s comfort zone through voice while fostering wellbeing and resilience. If you can speak, you can do this workshop.

Delivered in a highly interactive environment, this workshop is for anyone who shudders at the idea of public speaking, let alone rapping, in their authentic voice in front of peers.

For students, professionals, communities or individuals wanting to grow - young and old.

”Roman’s comfort zone workshop was the highlight of the festival… A high ropes course without leaving the ground.”

— Nereda (Participant), Island Vibe Festival

“The structure of the whole workshop was built really safely and beautifully for a big group to more intimate groups… and was really gentle, kind scaffolding.

Philosophically the the real message about growing in courage and experiencing the humility and excitement of living in the moment and to keep swimming was so encouraging. Everyone was able to engage from where they already were at in terms of skill and personality. It really was masterful.”

- Lucinda (Participant), WOMADelaide

An inspiring keynote, flexible in delivery, that explores a range of concepts linked to the Australian Blueprint for Careers Development (Area A Competencies).

Roman shares insights and wisdom gained throughout a multi-industry career, in a way that is designed to improve confidence while developing a positive self-concept in the audience and enhance awareness of change through life.

“In my twenty years of teaching, Roman MC is the best guest speaker I have heard… The careers presentation was so apt and our students were very engaged… We are so excited to have him back.” - Careers Practitioner, Carey Baptist Grammar School

A rewarding career and life journey will involve making decisions based on what is important to us, as well as embracing out-of-comfort-zone experiences.

This workshop will invite audiences to discover and share their values, with storytelling and group activities designed to build confidence for a meaningful career journey that resonates with who we are and what is important to us.

“I have never seen a more engaging experience. For our diverse cohort, this was an experience that supported individual needs and capabilities and supported multiple levels of engagement while supporting literacy learning goals and career education. By utilising hip hop as a learning tool, Roman was able to make learning authentic, inspirational, and enjoyable.” - Education Consultant, QUT

Through live performance and breakdowns of hip hop’s most meaningful verses, inspire your students with a visceral passion for language devices and the power of written and verbal communication.

This workshop creates a framework for any participant to feel inspired and able to write their own poetry in an authentic, engaging, fun and relevant way.

”Roman MC structured the sessions perfectly, making rap accessible to all in a safe and celebratory environment. His passion, confidence and connection with students is inspiring, I just loved listening to him enthuse over language devices and then seeing the students reciprocate this love of language.

Roman held our ‘hard to reach’ students in the palm of his hand, got them all writing and then challenged those who were capable of more. I recommend a Roman MC ‘incursion’ to any teacher looking to further deepen their students’ connection with the English language. Thank you for bringing a love of language into our students’ hearts!”

- Teacher, YMCA (English Extension Series)

”Roman has the rare ability to leave a room speechless in captivation one moment but then have it buzzing in inspiration the next. A buffet of knowledge, Roman got the most from our students in an interactive, sharing and collaboration based platform that pushed and instilled confidence in all our young people.”

- Youth Worker, YMCA (English Extension Series)

A musically focused workshop that deep dives into the mindset and performance techniques of freestyle rap, song, and poetry. This workshop has a technical focus for any creative students passionate about creative expression, poetry, music, vocal performance, stage performance, and songwriting.

Develop new skills, discover new tools, and challenge all notions of artistic possibility. This workshop can be delivered as both a group workshop or as an individual masterclass.

“The students got so much out of it and the participation was really amazing. We are so happy to have had Roman MC as part of our music incursion.”

- Grace Academy Community Programs Coordinator, Grace Lutheran College

Using storytelling and reflection activities, any audience will unpack the vital role of heroes in our global story, the qualities that make a hero and how we might cultivate a hero’s mindset in our individual lives, through a lens that explores personal integrity and taking radical ownership of our story.

This workshop is designed to encourage any individual to own their personal and professional story and step further into the role of being the hero of one’s individual story.

“In my 20 years working in the youth justice space, I have not seen a skillset quite like Roman's and it is amazing. Our school supports the most vulnerable students in the state. They are not always an easy bunch to engage in anything, especially the under-15-year-olds.

Roman's delivery of the Your Inner Hero program was mind-blowing. Not only did they engage, but he used EVERYTHING thrown at him and turned it into a positive and a growth mindset opportunity. He is a pro at working with disengaged youth. I can't wait to see what develops over the next year with these students.”

- Principal Project Officer, Brisbane Youth Education and Training Centre

“Engaging and encouraging for even our most vulnerable and quiet students. Roman is a great storyteller and able to connect with and inspire so many.” - Teacher, St James College (Yr 11 Workshop)
