''Op 16 maart 2017 vond de presentatie plaats van de documentaire “De Jongensdroom” over het leven en werken Theo Jansen, de Delftse kinetische kunstenaar.
De vertoning vond plaats in het nationaal museum het Prinsenhof aan het Agathaplein in Delft. Er waren 350 gasten aanwezig waaronder de burgemeester en een aantal wethouders.
De organisatie was in de handen van de Stichting Beeldende Kunsten Delft, in samenwerking met de documentairemakers Cinta Forger en Walther Grotenhuis. Mijn naam is Dick Holt, ben bestuurslid van deze stichting en verantwoordelijk voor de organisatie van deze avond.
Op mijn verzoek heeft Jan van der Mast een presentatie gehouden waarin hij is ingegaan op de vraag wat hem zo aanspreekt in het werk van Theo Jansen.
Jan heeft met veel humor, respect, enthousiasme en elan een betoog gehouden waarin hij op zijn eigen humoristische wijze het werk van Theo Jansen tegen het voetlicht heeft gehouden. Aandachtspunten als volharding, uniciteit, creativiteit en enorme bewondering voor het “slavenwerk “van Theo Jansen zijn de revue gepasseerd. Zijn presentatie kreeg een internationaal elan toen hij een betoog hield dat alle wereldleiders wel een werk van Theo Jansen zouden moeten bezitten. Luid applaus vanuit de zaal.
Jan kan gepassioneerd vertellen. Hij maakt veel gebruik van zijn stem om emoties uit te drukken. Hij heeft de heel aangename eigenschap om ook zijn lichaam te gebruiken bij zijn presentatie. Zeker dus geen steriele saaie spreker. Veel dynamiek en expressie. Jan spreekt makkelijk , zoekt en heeft contact met de zaal en laat zich duidelijk inspireren als hij reacties op zijn verhaal krijgt. Het lijkt er op dat hem dat stimuleert om er met nog meer enthousiasme tegenaan te gaan. Hij gebruikt veel humor en dat maakt contact krijgen met de zaal eenvoudiger.
Achteraf heb ik heel veel positieve reacties op zijn presentatie ontvangen. Die reacties heb ik uiteraard aan hem door gegeven. Jan gaf aan dat hij op de avond zelf ook heel veel positieve reacties op zijn presentatie heeft gekregen.
Kortom een bevlogen spreker die zich graag met veel research in zijn onderwerpen verdiept. Het is duidelijk dat hij dan weet waar hij het over heeft. Dat maakt hem tot een ontspannen spreker.''

A really unforgettable day
Music thinking 4 Business People”, a groundbreaking, inspirational and motivating formula! In addition, it has been a privilege to also have Salva as the conductor of our meeting. A really unforgettable day, which has marked a turning point in our convention format.
Enjoyed the conference while learning about emotions management
“An explosive mixture, two compounds: Rock and teamwork. Nearly 400 attendees enjoyed the conference while learning about emotions management. Can you think of a better mix? That is SalvaROCK”
You will not be disappointed! Rock on!
I have had the pleasure of working with Salva on two occasions and I am sure there will be more. We met totally by chance, and I am so glad we met. The collaboration has been truly excellent. His ability to engage with large groups of (often very diverse) people, and to get them to participate is quite extraordinary. If you are thinking about a way to get a crowd to wake up, enjoy, participate, and walk away feeling good about being at the event, Salva is a superb way to make this happen. May I also recommend to give him the slot before a break or as a last slot of the event. You will not be disappointed! Rock on!
I hope we get the opportunity to work with him again
A wonderful performance at our company’s offsite. There were great insights for the team in his performance, and the stories he used really made them stick. I have heard a couple of them being used in meetings afterwards! I think this last part is what is most important: that he knows how to get his messages across, while involving people. I hope we get the opportunity to work with him again.
It was spectacular, SalvaROCK managed to be a true member of our team
