Forum Theatre

This innovative and exciting training programme has taken the National Health Service by storm. Now Staff actually look forward to training courses, and return to their duties with a new found air of confidence and understanding. Created and run by Social Psychologists and Neuro-Linguistic-Programmers, the course is supported by a team of professional Actors under the direction of a West End Stage Director.

Fun

By the creation of a fun packed environment learners are relaxed and absorb the learning easily.  Through a series of specially written scenarios, the Actors re-create common situations and conflict within the work place. Calling on their own experience, audience members take over the direction of the cast, and change attitudes and body language until a satisfactory conclusion is reached. Further dramatic impact involves the splitting of the audience into two camps of Antagonists and Solutionists. This revealing mechanism strongly demonstrates the effects of poor customer service, and the negative chain reaction that can occur; but, more importantly, offers solutions to the problems, and creates a deep awareness of Customer needs.

                           Unique  

The phenomenal success of `Forum Theatre’ is due to pre-analysis of the Client’s requirements, coupled with challenging behaviour models. Pilot sessions have been held for both, clinical and non clinical staff; with the programme designed to work in any situation or environment. Due to the uniqueness of `Forum Theatre’, almost 50 delegates have now signed up to the Adult Apprenticeship programme to gain a national qualification.

Quality

For organisations that are seeking to achieve Investors in People and promote the Skills Pledge, this is a perfect programme as it ensures that the learning is mapped to the overarching organisational objectives.
