Workshops, Events & More

Choose from workshops which challenge perceptions, change perspectives or introduce new concepts. Communicate new strategies or launch new products with scripted play-lets and role-playing.

Team Building
Teams can make the difference between winning and coming second in the race for success. But how can you motivate and get the best from a diverse group of people with different agendas? Every member is chosen for his or her talents and abilities, but those very differences can often lead to problems when it comes to completing the project.

Our workshops are both challenging and fun and are designed to ease people out of their comfort zones through a wide range of theatre games and activities. We use forum theatre, role-play, coaching techniques and theatre games to challenge perspectives, develop understanding and create positive dynamics.

Building individual talents into a supportive, encouraging and effective team will enhance the performance of your business in this challenging climate.

Exploring Creativity
Stimulate your creative side! Build confidence, explore hidden talents or discover new ways to do business. Whatever the objective, creativity workshops are designed to help teams, managers and groups grow and develop while having an enjoyable and energizing experience. Workshops are dynamic and engaging and a fun way to explore the hidden talents you and your group possess.

Work / Life Balance
In today’s stressful working environment, how to achieve and maintain work/life balance has become the elusive key to a happy healthy lifestyle. Our workshops provide ‘time-out’ to take a step back from the routine and re-evaluate your life and learn to recognise and deal with your stressors. With an emphasis on time-management, communication, relaxation and wellbeing and combining group and individual work, this programme will ensure you and your colleagues/friends return to work re-energised!

Away Days

An ‘Away-Day’ for your team or company is an opportunity to see your business from a different perspective. It also provides a forum in which to appraise the social and business cultures that can impact on performance.

Our actors and facilitators will heighten the impact of your agenda and provide a forum for you to communicate your key messages, introduce new concepts and positively influence change. Live performances of bespoke scenarios will highlight your key messages and stimulate discussion, focusing the group on common goals. Interactive and involved group work ensures issues are explored and potential pitfalls avoided or prepared for.

Or just for the fun of it, how about Theatre Games, Challenges or even a Murder Mystery/Who-dun-it? Team members watch live action and work through the clues to solve the crime. Choose character names, scene-of-the-crime, and your weapon of choice. It’s a great way of building team spirit and morale whilst maintaining a healthy sense of competition and it’s all legal!

Launches & Events
Ensure your launch, promotion or event has maximum impact! Shift can create and perform material that perfectly captures the essence of your product or service. From book launches to strategy launches and everything in between, Shift can provide you with an MC, music, comedy, sketches and/or performance artists to provide a backdrop or centrepiece to showcase your message.
