APPROACH
Storytelling is at the heart of all theatre. These sessions will draw upon techniques from theatre and rehearsal to encourage more courageous and inspiring business communication. The work is highly practical, with participants trying out exercises and new techniques that move them away from their default style and into new behaviours. Underpinning the work is the idea of rehearsal as a tool for behavioural change, and the workshop includes moments of individual and group learning using the rehearsal process of experimentation and feedback. The work is challenging, memorable and good fun.
