ABOUT THEATRE OF THE SELF
Theatre of the Self is an interactive and inclusive playshop for senior leadership based on principles of Improvisational Theatre (Improv), as a formal study, to train leaders in positive collaboration, effortless communication and understanding agility.
WHAT IS IMPROVISATION?
- Improvisation, Impro or Improv, is a form of live theatre in which the plot, characters and dialogue of a game, scene or story are made up in the moment
- Improvisation is also the activity of making or doing something that you have not planned, using whatever you find.
- Improvisation is about using our existing skills and knowledge with whatever resources we have at hand.
- To be human is to Improvise: Rather than operating from a script, we are constantly looking at options, evaluating them, making decisions and acting spontaneously in our lives.
WHY THEATRE OF THE SELF?
YES, AND…
Improv is about accepting ideas and thoughts and expanding it. It facilitates creative co-creation.
Say What?!
We are all taught how to read, write and speak but nobody teaches us how to listen. Improv transforms leaders into “active listeners” which helps them change the way they communicate.
Right here, right now
Improv is about learning to “React, Adapt & Communicate,” as well as to stay focused and in the moment, especially when the unexpected occurs. It trains you to pay attention to things that we usually tend to miss.
Make the other person look good
Helps to transform people into more mindful, empathetic and authentic versions of themselves and delivers new levels of confidence, self-respect, and joy along the way.
Business is an act of improvisation
Trends and needs change swiftly. Improv helps leaders to find the ability of calculated risk taking and accepting failure to help them make informed decisions. It also helps leaders to be more agile to spontaneity and transformation.
