An improv workshop is a classic in the world of team building. TIM / Inspinazie has thirty years of experience guiding team-buildings with improvisational theater. When people have seen us perform a themed improv performance, they often come to tell us that they not only enjoyed the way we highlighted the theme. They are also often impressed with the teamwork in improvising and see the potential in it for each team. Not coincidentally, then, we also An TIM performance that is about improvisation itselfWe are often on the road for improvisational theater workshops as team building.
Within no time after starting such a workshop, a fresh wind blows through the group, it bubbles with cocreativity and sparks with newfound connections being made.
Improvisation exercises during a team building focus on improvisational interacting, not acting skills. Everyone can do it. The question, however, is what holds us back in it, and that's what we actively explore during the workshop. An improvisation workshop is essentially about shedding what hinders us from interacting more spontaneously with each other, and to fully see and appreciate each person's unique place in a group. Through all differences.
A boost to group dynamics!
The power of improvisation, for people and organizations
Studies on burnout are increasingly exposing the importance of colleagues at work for staying healthy active. It's not just about task load and managerial appreciation. Mutual relationships in a team are fundamental. Improvising together is a fun and effective way to strengthen the relational fabric and restore attrition in communication and cooperation.*
Being improvisational in interaction helps to move the energy from our brain to our body and thus to the space between us. Throughout a day, people waste masses of time dialoguing with themselves. These are often dialogues based on vague interpretations, assumptions and sometimes outright prejudices. The barriers to speaking up, discussing and agreeing sometimes become sky-high, and people see each other through certain spectacles. An often heard statement after an improvisation workshop is therefore:
"Amai, I have seen colleagues from a very different side in such a short time!"
Others then notice how they dare to show themselves more than they had thought.
"I always thought I was the only one who was so doubtful about certain things, liberating to see that I'm not alone in that. I feel more at ease again."
An improv workshop is also very discharging.
"It had been so long since we all laughed so exuberantly and wholeheartedly!"
That discharge is a real reset, in the team then comes back room for conversations and actions that may have been put off for too long.
