About this event

The programme connects theatre and theatre-based skills directly to corporate environments, translating rehearsal room techniques into practical professional development.

The half-day sessions are delivered by experienced ATG practitioners who teach proven performance techniques to increase confidence in public speaking, presence, body language, and creative thinking - empowering your teams in their day-to-day roles.

Theatre professionals are experts in engaging an audience, thinking on their feet, projecting authority and credibility, managing high-pressure environments and working cohesively as an ensemble. By applying these skills to corporate settings, organisations see measurable improvements in leadership effectiveness, internal communication, and public-facing confidence.

Stepping into a theatre encourages participants to think differently, communicate more clearly, and collaborate more effectively, away from their usual workplace pressures. This is experiential learning at its most impactful.

Participants will develop:

  • Asserting confidence, presence and the ability to command a space
  • Communicating effectively
  • Giving and receiving feedback constructively
  • An understanding of physical presence and body language
  • Improved use of voice and breathing techniques
  • Creative problem solving and adaptive thinking

These core competencies directly support professionals who regularly present in courtrooms, lead council meetings, deliver public consultations, manage teams, or represent their organisations publicly.

The half-day immersive sessions are £250 plus VAT per person, and the next available date is Friday 31st July 2026.
