Dramatic Art
coup can help you to work more effectively with the ideas, energy and resources currently available to your organisation by unlocking the insights and practices of some 3000 years of dramatic art. We provide this value through accessible and engaging experiences - conference theatre and events, corporate film production, training, coaching and consulting.
One of our primary sources of inspiration and practical knowledge is dramatic art. Far from being merely diversionary amusements, the dramatic arts are a repository of mankind's observation of itself in the mirror. Playwrights, actors, directors, designers and other theatrical practitioners have, for centuries, sought to combine the elements of word, image, sound, music, colour, form and energy to recreate "life as they knew it" on stage.
The objective of all this creative endeavour was to provide meaning and direction to the audience. From Aristophanes' Lysistrata, to Shakespeare's Henry V, to David Mamet's Stuff Happens, theatre is designed to trigger feeling, thought and action.
The principles of dramatic art can be applied to achieve modern organisational and professional development objectives. It's far more than getting a senior leadership team to engage in an improvisation class. The translation of the creative experience into palpable and practical insight and action is our speciality. There's a bit of theatre in everything we do, which ensures that attention is always given to how to engage "this audience" in "this moment". The coup method sets us apart.
Your business is an unfolding story. Do you have the right cast? Are they fully equipped to perform? Do they have a stage that supports them to perform at their best? Have they been encouraged to give their all every time they take the stage?
We can help you answer those questions. We can help you secure your ideal cast. We can help you attract and retain the best talent. We can help you make your expectations for all your people crystal clear. You can show them what they need to achieve and the way to achieve it. You can show them what the rewards of success will be.
You can make it specific to where your people are right now; what are they are talking about, the real water cooler conversations. And that’s the canvas upon which we paint the success stories. They say some people need to see it before they believe it. Corporate Dramatists can help you get clear on what you want your people to see, and then show to them.
We can also design and deliver training that teaches your people the performance skills required to succeed in their roles. Perhaps more importantly, we help people to find the self-belief to give themselves fully to their role, with confidence and high self- regard. It's in this state that people will perform at their best.
