Our Services
Personal communication skills are the key to success.
Industrial Theatre is a tool that can be used in personal development, corporate training, business communications or management consultancy.
The Business of Acting brings hands on theatre techniques into a business environment—and every training programme is different. We create a safe playground where mistakes are allowed to be made, and laughter is part of the process. Our programmes allow people to play with the question What if?
So whether you have an assessment or development centre to run, an interactive workshop or a recruitment exercise to organise, The Business of Acting can help you.
Bespoke Role-Play Workshops
Role-playing is acting in character and having to make decisions within a simulated situation.
Acting is reacting, and a good actor can be anyone you want them to be. An experienced actor working in a role-play is able to maintain a consistency of character whilst displaying the range of emotions a scenario may require. Mistakes that are inevitably made while learning new skills can be made safely in a training environment and not in a commercial setting. Different approaches can also be tried to discover the best way of handling particular situations.
We can supply you with actors are who are ready to be your unhappy customers, under performing staff, uncooperative work colleagues and angry bosses!
