Improvised conversations for schools, teams and corporate training
THiNK ABOUT iT
What we offer
Workshops with a difference
We discuss social, moral and interpersonal issues though entertaining and thought provoking performances. Co-founders, Andy and Damien use volunteers from the audience in a theatre sports style show, directly addressing themes and issues significant to that group. The scenes can veer from light and humorous to serious and challenging.
We believe that “the standard you walk past, is the standard you accept” and our sessions aim to give participants the tools to identify and deal with difficult situations. Our hope is that, through our interactive scenes and the discussions that they generate, the audience will leave with the confidence to set their standards high, make good decisions and engage in difficult conversations with colleagues and friends when they need to. The workshops offer an opportunity to explore when to have these conversations and how to do so in a safe and respectful manner.
