Synopsis:

Designed in an experiential learning framework, this workshop is aimed at transformative skills and uses theatre-based activities to navigate through ideas and values required for the team. Reflections and discussions, rather than lectures help participants internalise concepts and approaches in an embodied way. Set in a democratic environment, the participants are encouraged to trust their truth and core values and deeply (re)connect with themselves and others. Life’s personal and professional domains are respected in the process and the qualities and skills required to improve the quality of both are explored. Overall, in an authentic and safe setting, the workshop aims to enable one to attain emotional growth and creative enhancement.

Tools from theatre therapy, self-expressive art, theatre of the oppressed, spiritual psychology and nonviolent communication are used in the process.
