How we use theatre

Techniques from the rehearsal room

People learn leadership the way actors learn a part: by doing it, seeing it from the other side, and doing it again.

Forum theatre

A familiar scene, such as being talked over in a meeting, is replayed while participants step in to try a different response.

Status play

Exercises that make the unwritten rules of power visible, and practise shifting them.

Rehearsal for reality

Each person rehearses a real conversation they are facing, such as a pay discussion, with coaching.

When to choose it

Pulse survey signals this training addresses

If your employee survey scores are low on statements like these, this is a good place to start.

“Everyone is treated fairly in my team”“I see a future for myself here”
