Something completely different

A group of us here spent a great Friday afternoon with Drama for Training, finding our more about the exercises and techniques they use to roll out 'attitudinal' training programmes on, amongst other topics, diversity.

All concerns about role-playing were soon forgotten - there was none of it!  Instead, the Drama for Training actors play out scenarios and encourage discussion and debate. We followed a story about a domineering and sexist manager and were given the opportunity to change the outcome of a scene by 'stage managing' a previously passive witness to the bullying behaviour - with great results!  The actors were able to improvise in character and follow our instructions to completey change the scenario.

These are really unusual training events and client feedback has been consistently excellent.  We loved it and hope to work more closely with Drama for Training in the future.
