In today’s professional world, clear communication, confidence, and the ability to think on your feet are no longer “nice to have” skills — they are essential. Whether you’re leading meetings, presenting ideas, dealing with clients, or navigating challenging conversations, how you communicate matters just as much as what you say.

This one-day improvisation and acting workshop offers a practical, engaging introduction to the tools actors use to communicate with clarity, confidence, and impact — and shows you how to apply those skills directly to the workplace. It is equally well suited to professionals looking to strengthen their communication skills and to anyone who has ever been curious about acting and would like a supportive, low-pressure way to try it out.

Improvisation is not about being funny or “performing” on the spot. It is about listening fully, responding authentically, staying present, and adapting in real time. These skills are invaluable in professional environments, but they are also the foundations of good acting. Through guided exercises, participants explore vocal expression, presence, and spontaneity without the pressure of learning lines or working with scripts, making this an ideal first step for beginners interested in acting.

The workshop is highly interactive, practical, and accessible — no previous acting or performance experience is required. Participants are encouraged to work at their own pace in a supportive, non-judgemental environment, building confidence both in how they speak and how they present themselves.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

By the end of the day, participants will have developed practical tools they can immediately apply in professional and corporate settings, including:

• An introduction to the art of improvisation and acting, with a focus on real-world communication rather than performance

• How to think on your feet and respond confidently in meetings, presentations, and conversations

• Voice and vocal presence techniques to help you sound clearer, more confident, and more engaging

• Breathing techniques to manage nerves, improve focus, and support strong, steady speech

• How to keep an audience’s attention, whether you’re presenting to a room or speaking one-to-one

• Delivery and presence skills to help you communicate your ideas with clarity, authority, and authenticity
