What others say...

“Recently, Dayna Kneeland facilitated a public speaking workshop for new entrepreneurs. I was very impressed with her facilitation skills. She was very well prepared and created an inclusive environment where in participants felt encouraged and supported. She was able to accurately read the energy of the group and gently guide us on a path of self discovery. All of the clients felt they had come to a new understanding of how to express what they do in a meaningful and engaging way. I will definitely be looking to Dayna to facilitate more classes."

Why theatre-based techniques?

Community Building

Theatre fosters a culture of trust, builds strong bonds, and develops a sense of community in a short period of time. Through fun and interactive activities participants connect outside of regular social connections and break down barriers through laughter and shared understanding of human experience.

Awareness

Theatre invites us to explore human emotion, behaviour, and relationships and try out new ways of interacting within a structured creative environment. It helps us increase personal awareness by developing skills such as active listening, empathy, and the ability to recognize how our behaviour impacts others.

Inclusion and Diversity

Theatre activities can provide a safe, structured container for exploring diverse perspectives and sensitive topics. It opens possibilities for reflection, dialogue and utilizing creativity as a foundation to fostering inclusion.

Communication

Impactful speakers draw on many of the same skills as professional actors such as vocal expressiveness, audience connection, ability to improvise and adapt, an understanding of persuasion, and the ability to use nonverbal communication to convey one’s message.

Thinking Skills

Theatre is a social art form that requires collaboration and problem solving for a successful group outcome. It helps to develop improvisation skills so we can think on our feet, think outside the box, and adapt quickly to different situations. It also engages our capacity to plan, practice, and modify actions and behaviour.

Engagement

Theatre is playful and dynamic. It can evoke laughter and shift the energy in a room. It engages cognitive, visual, and psycho-motor learning which helps groups to access and recognize different personality styles and strengths.

Soft skills are foundational to business success and positive organizational culture.

We bring over 20 years of group facilitation experience.
