Teambuilding Programs
A team is only as strong as its ability to work together. These programs get your employees thinking and more importantly, listening differently.
Large Group program (250 people)
Program One: Collaboration and Communication
Objectives (customized to your needs): teambuilding, team bonding, leadership development, innovation.
Program Description: Through a series of fun, on-your-feet activities based on improvisational theatre techniques, participants explore skills such as listening, collaboration, releasing pre-conceived agendas, adapting to change, committing to choices with confidence, multi-tasking, and creative thinking. The program
is designed to create a safe environment in which participants feel comfortable letting go of inhibitions, laughing and seeing each other in a new light. No one is singled out for performance – everything is group-based and supportive. After each exercise, our expert facilitator leads a discussion in which participants examine the skills needed to perform the exercise successfully, and how they can immediately apply these new skills to enhance productivity in the workplace.
Time: 2 hours
Participants: 8 - 50 (For 20 – 50 participants: we run simultaneous identical sessions with up to 20 participants per group, and would need separate spaces for each group divided by soundproof walls.)
Space Requirement: wide open space – a room without tables; chairs pushed to the periphery; enough space
for all participants to stand comfortably in a circle with about a foot between each person.
“The exercises were so relevant–targeting just what I wanted to achieve. We all thought the balance of energy, fun, learning and interaction was perfect.”
Program Two: Collaboration and Communication -- Demo with Workshop
Objectives: teambuilding, teambonding, innovation, leadership development
Program Description: Our team of performer-facilitators perform a series of improvisational theatre games for the large group, followed by large group discussion of the skills of the improviser, followed by dividing into small group workshops similar to Program One, and culminating in a short performance for the large group, incorporating participant volunteers.
Time: 3 – 3.5 hours
Participants: 50 – 120
Space Requirements: One large space with audience-style seating and raised platform stage. Breakout rooms for simultaneous workshops (same ‘open space’ requirements as Program One)
“The event was successful! I was so pleased with the facilitators that came today…everyone in our group truly enjoyed the exercises. I will definitely be in touch with you to schedule our team building event next year.”
