Event short description
Combining humor with learning and development, your host will create a curriculum based on improvisational exercises and scene work, helping individuals develop and train soft skills to become better at their jobs. Taking the details shared about the group and their goals in a pre-event survey completed by the event organizer, your host will tailor the curriculum to suit the team’s needs. These workshops are designed to invite participation gradually and be adapted on the fly based on how participants respond.
