The Story
Connor is the young up and coming office superstar.
When a trip down the stairs lands him in a moonboot less than a month before the birth of his first child, Connor’s normally stellar performance starts to slip.
Has Connor taken on more than he can handle, or is there something more complex going on?
From our participants
I have done loads of these courses, typically a dry powerpoint style.
This was a welcome change of pace and provided better engagement and perspective as a result.
Techniques
-
CORPORATE THEATRE - Introducing new or challenging ideas through a theatrical storytelling lens allows the audience to observe, reflect, and put into practice new ideas in a safe and hands-off environment.
-
CHARACTER INTERVIEW - Participants interview the actors in character, to uncover the internal motivations, fears, and beliefs driving their observable behaviour.
-
CHARACTER COACHING - Characters ask participants for advice on how to behave, and take that advice into their scenario. Participants are prompted to reflect on the effectiveness of their input.
-
FORUM THEATRE - Participants redirect the outcome of a scene, by intervening when characters demonstrate unhelpful behaviour, and offering feedback on appropriate behaviour.
