What we do…
We recreate your world so that you can see it. Having a birds eye view perspective enables you to assess problems in a different way. You can then instruct actors to make changes or jump in yourself – just to see if your ideas work. Real time feedback ensures that interactions which are not useful can be quickly and effectively identified.
Theatre has always been a powerful change maker. In our training you are the director. It’s powerful, engaging and increases learning by up to 70%.
Our work combines the knowledge and techniques of practicing psychotherapists with performance-based methods of training backed by countless years of academic research.
How it works
Interact Now’s team work with you and your organisation to identify issues or areas of change and growth that would benefit from an different or new perspective. We then create bespoke situations which realistically reflect your workplace. We use a forum theatre format that ensures that the performance anxiety that can often accompany role play training disappears because participants can see their ideas put into action by actors rather than having to occupy a hot seat. There is no need for participants to ‘act’ and allows them to be themselves in the space.
Under the guidance of our facilitators, our team rehearse the relevant situations which will be used on the day. Our actors’ training in improvisation and feedback means participants experience real-time change in a responsive environment. This empowers participants to take an active approach to their learning and development – allowing for long-term retention and skill building.
What you think you would do versus how you react in the moment can be very different things. We help people build awareness of themselves.
This approach is designed to challenge participants by encouraging them to take risks and, in doing so, discover strengths and weaknesses they may not be aware of. We take upskilling and awareness beyond textbook theory and allow participants to experience and feel what it’s like to put new skills and approaches into practice.
It’s like rehearsing for life.
