Diversity defines your organisation from top to bottom. It drives its creative capacity and provokes its bitterest disputes.

Embracing diversity means that differences in age, religion, sexual orientation, gender, ethnicity and social background are promoted as a creative resource, not a barrier to progress. Organisations that do so are better at retaining staff and developing talent, making them happier places to work. They also open themselves up to wider markets, both in terms of talent through recruitment processes and by increasing their customer base.

However, diversity throws up significant challenges for any prospective learning solution. The issues involved are sensitive and emotionally-involving ones, which each of us will approach from a slightly different standpoint and relate to in different ways. As such it requires an approach that is respecting of and responsive to needs at both a group and individual level.

Theatre is an ideal means of exploring emotive subjects such as diversity. Drama cuts through the red tape, through company policy and addresses

CentreStage has a proven track record of delivering workshops that explore diversity through scripted theatre and forum theatre. We can design a programme to suit your specific requirements, or alternatively we have a half-day workshop which can be tailored to your audience.
