Theatre Based Training

Theatre-based training offers a unique and engaging way to develop critical skills in employees. Using drama or theatre allows your employees to explore and embrace their authentic selves. People can experiment with different communication styles, leadership approaches, and decision-making processes through improvisation exercises and role-playing scenarios.

How Theatre Based Training Works?

Experiential Learning
This is the core principle. Instead of lectures, participants become active learners. They rehearse scenarios, improvise situations, and even perform them. This “learning by doing” approach allows them to experiment with different behaviors in a safe, simulated environment. They can see the impact of their actions firsthand and make adjustments before encountering similar situations in the real world.
Focus on Soft Skills
Theatre exercises excel at honing soft skills like communication, public speaking, teamwork, conflict resolution, and emotional intelligence. By stepping into different roles and exploring various perspectives, participants gain a deeper understanding of human interaction. This helps them navigate complex situations effectively in the workplace.
Building Confidence
A core aspect of theatre is overcoming stage fright and performing in front of others. Theatre-based training incorporates this element to boost confidence in communication and presentation skills. Employees become more comfortable expressing themselves and presenting ideas in professional settings.
Engagement & Retention
Let’s face it, traditional classroom learning can get dull. Theatre-based training injects energy and interactivity into the learning process. This keeps participants engaged and motivated, leading to better information retention. The practical application and slightly unconventional approach make the learning more memorable.

What are the key advantages of Theatre Based Training?

Mirroring

Theatre based training mirrors real work-life scenarios and helps find resolution in real time with multiple perspectives.

Insight

Participants step into other people’s shoes and understand their plight and dilemma’s and then they gain insights to their own behaviours while learning and helps them have a better recall of these learnings.

Instant Feedback

Participants receive instant feedback allowing them to reflect, adapt and try different approaches.

Viewpoints

Theatre fosters an open space for vulnerabilities in situations and topics like diversity and inclusion, conflict resolutions and unconscious biases, which in turn can help people discuss various viewpoints on these sensitive topics.
