We all want to be effective in our profession, and in order to do that we need to work effectively with others. However, challenges arise that prevent us from focusing on solutions to problems in the work place: poor communication, shifting deadlines, red tape, and stresses outside of work.

It’s easy to let these challenges be an excuse to keep the creative juices from flowing. But what if we worked within our given parameters to see these challenges as opportunities rather than obstacles? The foundation and tools of theatre can help us reframe problems, cultivate empathy, listen actively, communicate effectively, collaborate with others, and think outside the box. All of these tools allow us to find freedom in the workplace to learn, grow and be effective in our work.

Participants in this workshop will engage in theatre exercises that are easily applicable to their jobs and to the effectiveness of their creativity, collaboration, and communication.
