Training and Professional Development
Melbourne Playback provides a variety of training opportunities and packages that can be delivered in conjunction with a performance, or as a stand-alone skill building workshop. Participants experience new ways of thinking, active listening, emotional intelligence, creativity and fun. These skills help create cohesive teams by developing trust and creative play.
A Melbourne Playback workshop is effective as an icebreaker with new or large group, and helps develop networks within established groups. What better way to approach team-building than by participating in a fun theatre-based workshop designed to get everyone outside their comfort zones and working together using creativity and focus!
