THERE'S NO BUSINESS...
Creative Team Building (1 day)

Teams are asked to mount a theatrical production. With the help of theatre professionals the participants are asked to act, sing, dance and costume a performance for their peers. Oh! And they need to write, direct and stage-manage the performance as well.

These events are unlike any other team building courses and are for teams who need a bonding experience, an injection of creativity and the rediscovery of the meaning of fun.

The objectives of this event are to:

•  Create an inclusive, interactive and appropriate event
•  Allow participants to get to know one another
•  Nurture the organisation's values
•  Generate a safe environment to explore and experiment
•  Encourage greater team understanding
•  Cement relationships
•  Demonstrate how each individual can contribute to the whole
•  Help people develop their creativity

Other team building ideas include

•  "NEWS DAY" Teams compile a News Programme perhaps on the challenges facing
    the organisation
•  "COMMERCIAL BREAK" Teams create and film a TV commercial, perhaps for the
    organisation's values

WHAT IS FORUM THEATRE?
•  Forum Theatre usually consists of a custom written play or scenario that we write

•  We base the actions of the play on research obtained by observing your business and    talking to relevant individuals within it.

•  The action takes place in a mirror world, close enough in structure to your organisation
    to be recognisable, but far enough away for the participants not to feel threatened or     criticised

• 
The action displays a world of behaviours that the audience (i.e. the participants) can     examine and interact with, a world they can manipulate and change for the better

•  The participants can interview and coach the characters in the play

•  Our professional actors will devise an improvised outcome from the advice and     coaching they are offered

•  The participants are then able to watch as their advice and coaching is put into practice

•  This approach offers a safe environment to rehearse skills or run scenarios that might be difficult to trial with "real" people

< BACK TO TOP
WHAT IS ROLE PLAY?

•  Role Play is face to face simulated interaction

•  We custom write role-play briefs for our actors based on situations the participants will    be familiar with

•  We realize that Role Play can be very stressful for participants and so we never ask
    them to play anybody but themselves

•  Role Play is a useful tool for practising listening and questioning techniques as well
   as feedback and coaching

Using Forum Theatre and Role Play, Entertaining Training's innovative approach guarantees that your participants will leave the workshop with renewed skills and confidence that they can use the moment that they return to the workplace.
