IMPROV FOR BUSINESS
There is nothing worse for staff motivation than a stuffy lecture or a boring training session for your team. We change all that with our unique
approach to business using improvisation.
​
Improvisation is the art of creating scenes and stories out of given suggestions. Often silly, surreal, script-less but above all, huge fun! What better way to motivate than having a hilarious day working together and creating unique one off comedy scenes!
​
Improvisation techniques hone skills in some of these key areas:-
​
- Confidence
- Listening
- Communicating
- Flexibility
- Problem Solving
- Creativity
- Team Playing
