Shared Experience - Team Building with a Difference

CentreStage has teamed up with Kevin Marsdon Associates to create a unique team building programme that combines the challenges and insights of team development with performance and presentation skills learning.

The theatre can be a lonely place, especially when you forget your lines in front of five hundred people. Mention theatre and most of us tend to imagine performers standing in their own individual spotlights. However, the reality is that theatre is highly collaborative. Indeed, there are few situations in which reliance on the people around you and trust in their abilities are more fundamental.

Much like a group presentation, therefore, performing as part of a cast of actors is in itself a huge test of teamwork and interdependence. And that’s precisely the test teams will face in this fun, interactive two-day workshop.

Shared Experience is designed to ensure that all the participants are involved all of the time. But while everyone is encouraged to stretch themselves and try new things, we believe in ‘Challenge by Choice’, so nobody is forced to do things they are not ready for.

Having been introduced to a series of theatrical techniques, designed to build confidence and trust between team members, participants will gain valuable knowledge and practice of effective presentation, how to engage an audience and use of body language to communicate ideas in a memorable way, before rehearsing and performing selected scenes from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

Facilitated by professional actor/trainers from CentreStage, Shared Experience is a challenging and extremely rewarding way of enhancing trust, inter-dependence and communication among team members.
