אז איך זה עובד? 

Playback theater show 

Our team arrives and improvises the stories of the employees, management or customers on the spot. The event is always interactive and built in collaboration with you. A playback theater show can be used as a tool for various purposes in the process of organizational development .

 

A playback show can create a space for flooding with dilemmas and professional questions. Within a process of organizational change or team development, a playback show can create a space for ventilation and processing of hidden and overt conflicts and objections that hinder work. In the process of creating a vision, a playback theater show creates a place where one can dream together the vision of the organization and play it out, flood different dreams and knead them into a shared vision. A playback show by virtue of being based on stories and personal experiences can be a wonderful tool to build the story of the organization out of listening to the experiences of the employees. On the other hand, a playback theater show can be used as a tool in the processes of design thinking and innovation to improve the customer experience or the employee experience. 

Improvisation clips

Sometimes customers ask us to join the organization's event and work through a tool of improvisation . Our players integrate into the event, listen to the content that comes up that day and create game segments from it. The improvisation sections promote a process of organizational development in a number of ways. The passages can drive discussions and in-depth processes, produce a different and refreshing experience, emotionally connect employees into the process and flood new or sensitive perspectives. The theatrical instrument has the power to jump over the analytical discourse and reach the heart of the matter. Many times we will use this tool in an event of conversation circles . During such an event the players join the discussion circles and in the stage of returning to the plenum the players play a number of improvisational passages based on the material raised.

Sample event - an online day with R&D of the Ministry of Education at the event.

Content development

In the process of content development , we help our clients turn theoretical models and ideas into short performances that are built and tailored exactly to the desired topic. The performances can be combined with a lecture, during a seminar or at a conference. The show can be used to drive processes. Another way of working with content development is to create a presentation from interviews with employees and customers from the field and flood these authentic voices in management meetings or a record event of the organization.

Sample event - in an online event for a staff of 150 employees at a high school in the center of the country to mark the middle of last year in the shadow of the Corona. At this event the clients passed on to us texts and quotes collected from the teachers in relation to exciting and challenging personal experiences from this period. We processed the texts into 6 game segments and with them we started the day. The day that dealt with the development of positive thinking opened in a high tone and from there we continued to six playback theater workshops.

Simulation days

The simulation tool is a well-known and particularly effective tool for professional purposes. The idea in simulations is the ability to learn together, experiment and make mistakes in a safe atmosphere and use simulation as a playground. We hold simulation days both in the format of individual simulations and in the format of group simulations. We build the scenarios together with you - you give the professional emphasis and we the game emphasis. Our facilitator and actors who are skilled in listening and improvisation are committed to the growth of your people and give them honest and constructive feedback in a good spirit.

Here are some examples of uses in simulation days-

For executive development - managing complex conversations, managing conflicts, managing meetings and interviews.

For employee development - conversation with customers, development of services.

Courses and workshops

As part of the process of organizational development you want to take the people of your organization on a joint journey of learning, take them out of their comfort zone, and give them new tools. We offer workshops and courses on a variety of topics - playback theater and improvisation as a tool for professional and personal development, development of entrepreneurship and innovation processes (design thinking), creative management, development of audience skills and development of listening skills. All our facilitators are committed to building a creative climate and a good atmosphere and growth!

Example event - a course for arts therapists in settlement education on the subject - "Entrepreneurship and innovation in the world of therapy". Through the course the therapists acquired new tools from a different world, defined their challenge, acquired research and brainstorming skills and created innovative prototypes for the treatment work during the Corona period.
