XNN OPTIMISATION

MEET MARKET & PERSONA

In the Meet Market, we break down all facets of human interaction, attraction and body chemistry to find out exactly what makes a great interpersonal connection. Speed meeting meets strange, light touch intimacy. Each participant undertakes several quickfire activities, each a non-verbal exercise.
In Persona, an alter ego is created to live deliciously in new and exciting ways. We find out how to augment the body, the voice and the mind to create a Super-You.

The aim of the Optimisation programme is to see the essence of people, when all day to day details are stripped away- no “what do you do?”, “what is your name?”, or “what are you looking for?”, instead getting to know each other in a more intimate way.

You get out just as much as you put in. This is an audience led immersive experience so your full attention and participation will make or break the show. The Optimisation programme is designed to bring you into a new state of mind in order to help you connect with those around you in new ways.
