Forum Theatre and Improvisation
Think on your feet
The learning really lands because practice makes perfect!

How Forum Theatre builds key skills
As you practice, the facilitator will press ‘pause’, ‘play’ and ‘rewind’ to help you:
- Step into the scene and try out your ideas and approaches.
- Hear others’ observations and check on audience suggestions.
- Experiment through critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills.
- Foster empathy, creativity, and social awareness.
- Discuss in small groups and receive individual coaching.
- Ask the actors questions to explore mindset, impact and motivation.
Why workplace improvisation is essential
- Think on your feet.
- Experiment with others’ ideas.
- Respond in an agile and resilient way to change.
- Connect and collaborate towards shared goals.
- Develop flexibility in your thinking.
In fact, all conversation is improvisation! No matter how much you prepare for performance conversations or commercial negotiations, your counterparts bring their own ideas and goals. Practising through improvisation improves your skills of deep listening, being open-minded, and building on others’ suggestions to see where they can go.
You can also harness this skill for motivating employees – especially GenZ – who want to know their ideas are being heard.
In a disrupted world, where change and innovation happen fast and constantly, improvisation is a key skill for you as a leader or member of a high-performing team.

What our clients say:
Interactive, fun, thought provoking. It gave me a whole new perspective. The theatre-led approach really stimulated my thinking about how to make collaboration more effective. Loved the creative ways the facilitator engaged participants to demonstrate teamwork and bring awareness of your own energy in teams, and how that can affect others in both bad and good ways.

A HUGE thank you for the contribution you made to our event today! The Theatre-Led Learning session went so well and was so impactful and authentic … The online audience really thought the virtual meeting participants (your actors) were caught off guard and hadn’t realized the session had gone live! Peers were really touched by the subject matter and found the behaviour suggestions very relatable and practical. It has once again been a pleasure to partner with Dramatic Difference.
