What We Do
We Build Belonging
We provide inclusion-informed training using drama-based methods that increase people’s sense of belonging at work. Why? Because when people feel like they belong in their workplace, organisations experience improvements in recruitment, retention, productivity, and innovation. This drives growth.
Training & Coaching
Bring your culture change programmes to life using inclusion-informed workshops expertly crafted to engage heads and hearts and inspire action
Many people in organisations face barriers due to their race, gender, religion, sexuality, socioeconomic background, or neurodiversity. Company websites and social media sometimes paint a picture of harmony at odds with reality. Conventional equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) training can feel disconnected from the lived experience of individuals and teams.
For people who have never experienced discrimination, it can be hard to see or even believe it happens in their organisation. For people who have experienced discrimination or seen it happen to others, it can be hard to speak up because of the fear of confrontation or damage to their career.
Ignoring the issue impacts recruitment, retention, productivity and innovation. This damages growth. Addressing the issue requires systemic cultural change. Systemic cultural change starts with acknowledging challenges, and so do we …
Although all our training programmes are bespoke, we always start by finding innovative ways to enable leadership teams to understand the communication challenges their colleagues face. We do this by using drama to help organisations see themselves more clearly. Our training workshops and coaching sessions highlight real experiences of colleagues who face challenges at work and give practical tools to support delegates in making behavioural changes. Each programme is unique, but usually includes anonymised real-life stories portrayed by professional actors, forum theatre, and practice conversations based on the topics below.
Inclusive
Leadership
We help you define what truly inclusive leadership will look like at your organisation. We then co-create an inclusive leadership training programme that will enable you to create and sustain an inclusive culture where everyone can thrive.
Inclusive Communications
Feedback
We equip leaders and senior managers with the skillset and support structure needed to deliver constructive and fair feedback. We then work with their teams to equip everyone with the skillset and confidence to speak up in ways that support a culture of belonging.
Psychological Safety
We help organisations build environments where everyone feels safe to speak up, share ideas, and ask questions without fear. Our programmes show why psychological safety matters and offer practical ways to create a more open, supportive workplace for all.
Unconscious Bias
We help organisations understand and address unconscious bias—those hidden attitudes and stereotypes that can affect decisions and behaviour. Our sessions raise awareness and provide practical steps to create a fairer, more inclusive workplace for everyone.
Personal Impact
We support people to communicate with confidence and make a positive impression at work. Our sessions help delegates understand their strengths, develop their presence, and build the skills they need to influence and connect with others effectively.

Films
Bring your cultural change programme to life using professionally scripted, directed, and produced films
Nothing ignites lasting change as well as real stories. Our drama-based learning film production service brings to life the challenges and opportunities your workplace faces.
Connecting colleagues’ heads and hearts to your ‘actual current’ and ‘potential future’ stories, our films ignite a collective purpose, building a culture of belonging.
"We help organisations realise their visions through text and film formats, drawing on futurism, the science of storytelling, behavioural science, film-making, and the art of performance."

Future Stories
All organisations have a corporate vision. Many have product and service visions too. Visions that are central to their strategic plan, which intend to engage and inspire loyalty and action.
How many organisations, though, bring these visions to life in truly memorable ways? Ways akin to an immersive experience? Ways that engage both the heads and hearts of those they need to take action?
Want to ensure belonging is a lived experience and not just a word?
Events
Shine the light on inclusion by putting well-researched communication challenges and solutions on the stage, literally
Event Design
Our professional researchers, script writers, and actors can create a bespoke forum theatre performance for your event. After the performance, an experienced actor facilitator will lead an audience discussion. The performance is then re-run. Audience members are invited to shout out “Stop!” and suggest different ways characters can act out the next part. They get to change the script – and the outcomes – for the better.
