“Creativity takes courage.” – Henry Matisse
Recently we successfully concluded our inaugural training
program on Corporate Theater as a part of our Creativity Training module. A lot of you may have done a quick
double-take at the name of the session and may be wondering how on earth
something as artistic as theatre could influence an inherently process-driven
corporate team. Well, we must admit that it seemed like quite the task
initially, but the positive results of the module left us overwhelmed, stunned
and flushed with success.
When the client came to us with the unique requirement,
instead of feeling stumped, we were quite excited at the prospect of a new
challenge! Putting our heads together and working tirelessly with the client
and our internal creative team, we came up with a module that seamlessly
integrated the art of acting and theatre, and connected it to coming up with
creative solutions to corporate problems.
The ice-breaker saw everyone from Superstar Rajnikanth to
wrestling stars to Jack Sparrow entering our midst. As the participants slowly
shed their inhibitions, we saw something quite spectacular unfold in front of
our eyes.
The activities were designed to give the participants a
chance to perform a series of skits in different genres and the core of every
challenge was a work-place situation that they would encounter in their daily
professional lives. Outrageous characters were created as managers donned the
role of Yama Dharma Raaja (the god of death), thieves, Kings, Lord Vishnu, five
year old children and even animals found their way into the festivities! What
was most interesting was the way they engaged their creative and critical thinking skills when they
found themselves under the spotlight.
What we realized at the end of the session, was that while
our module enabled the participants to tap into their reserves of creativity,
it also gave us an opportunity to dive into our own pools of ingenuity! While
we guided the participants into awakening the creative spirit in them, we also
used creativity in
business and put together a fun, innovative and informative module and
unleashed our creative sides as well!
As Albert Einstein rightfully said, “Creativity is contagious. Pass it
on!” We definitely saw this
come alive both within our own team and within each participant. The more they
interacted with each other on creative solutions, the more each and every one
of them started thinking outside the box!
So remember, there is a creative genius inside each and
every one of us. Sometimes we are awake to its presence and sometimes we are
not. So indulge in creativity training and learn to set your ideas wild and free! They will ignite
your own conscience and also roar like wildfire across your team, spreading
positive thoughts and ingenious innovations all around!
