Our Approach and Expertise.



Improvisation - Creativity - Confidence



We draw our business training expertise from a wide spectrum of influences including

  • theatre training
  • performance theory
  • teaching technique
  • communication theory
  • rhetoric
  • storytelliing
  • counselling skills
  • play
  • physical methods such as the Alexander Technique and even martial arts

 

All these ideas are filtered through our years of experience as professional actors, trained teachers and work in charity and business settings.

 

We are particularly influenced by the ideas of Erving Goffman and the dramaturgy of work and business.


Our core skill lies in being able to transform any soft skills idea into an exciting and impactful business training programmes for your staff team. We place a heavy emphasis on experiential, 'up on your feet' learning embedded in a clear conceptual understanding.


We know that the learning experience matters, and that the best way to pick up new skills is through interactive, enjoyable training.


Relevance is key: each training course leaves you with a simple to use, step by step guide, gradually building a comprehensive soft skills tool kit.


At the heart of all business interactions lies human communication, we draw out your staff team's natural talents and stories, bringing them fully to life and making the communication really flow.
