Two or more actors run a scripted scene demonstrating issues such as entrenched ideas, workplace inefficiencies and lack of cultural inclusion. The audience suggest changes in behaviour or language. The actors then replay the scene with the suggested improvements. Forum Theatre is often used to explore emotive or controversial topics. It’s designed to stimulate debate, develop learning and modify behaviour.
Participants engage in face-to-face conversations with actors, simulating real workplace interactions. They can try new approaches, rehearse new strategies and put theory into practice in a supportive, safe environment. Through authentic conversations with a ‘real’ character, participants are sensitively challenged and gain significant insights into their own competencies and style.
Participants rehearse challenging conversations in a safe, supportive environment. They bring details of a difficult conversation they need to have in the workplace. The actor is briefed on the character, circumstances and issues. The conversation then plays out with the participant ‘road testing’ skills and ideas and receiving constructive feedback.
These sessions provide technical and practical exercises that help participants realise the full potential of their vocal and physical style. Conducted as either one-on-one coaching or with groups, face-to-face or online. Using the expertise of professional actors, CAA guides participants through processes that create confidence and presence.
