When things don't go to plan
An unexpected question in a meeting. A conversation that heads somewhere you hadn't anticipated. A plan that changes halfway through the day. It helps to be able to take in what's happening and decide what to do next. In this workshop, we practise listening closely, thinking clearly and responding to new information without getting thrown off course.
Questions about the workshop
Who is this workshop for?
This workshop is useful for anyone who has to respond in the moment, whether they're presenting, speaking with clients, working with colleagues or handling a change of plans. You don't need to be naturally quick-witted to take part.
Do we need any prior improv experience?
No. We start with accessible activities and build from there. Everyone can take part, whether they have tried improvisation before or not.
What happens during the workshop?
We use games and short scenarios that introduce unexpected information or changing circumstances. Participants practise paying attention, making choices and adjusting their response as situations develop. There's room to try things, make mistakes and have another go.
Can we do this online?
Yes. We can adapt the workshop for an online group.
What should participants bring?
No preparation is needed. Wear something comfortable enough to move around in.
