METHODOLOGY
Why use Theatre Improv as Methodology
Meetings are improvised. Conversations are improvised. Leadership moments are improvised. Problems are improvised.
You can prepare your presentation. You cannot prepare for every question.
You can plan the meeting. You cannot predict every response.
You can create a strategy. You cannot control everything that happens next.
Theatre improvisation gives people a safe and engaging environment to practise responding to the unexpected. Through principles such as Yes, And, participants practise:
Pay attention to what is actually happening.
Work with reality rather than resisting it.
Take what someone gives you and move the idea forward.
Respond when circumstances change.
Have the courage to step forward and participate.
It's not about becoming an actor.It's about becoming better at being human at work.
