Set Your Mind Free

Unlock your mind and unleash your creative potential. Be inspired to change habits and increase your joy at work.

When do you get your best ideas or find solutions to problems? Most people answer: In the shower, on a bike ride, or while washing the dishes. Scientists can now explain why ideas appear precisely in these moments. Learn more about this in this workshop or lecture, where I, together with designer Charlotte Mathiesen, will share insights about how the brain works and what you can do to give your brain the best conditions for innovation and creativity.

For many years, we have used artistic methods for creative processes, innovation, and facilitation. It works! But why does it work? We have been curious and read books and articles about the brain to find out. Theory is spiced up with engaging exercises and fun activities that challenge your thought processes and push your creative boundaries. You’ll gain meaningful experiences, new knowledge from brain research, and create the drive for further work in freeing your mind. Set your mind free!

Methods: Applied improvisation, Kunstgreb, design.

Team building using Improvisation

Improv theatre is an excellent tool for team building, fostering collaboration, trust, and cohesion within a group. Through various improvisational exercises and games, team members are encouraged to communicate, listen, and respond to one another in a creative and spontaneous manner. This promotes effective teamwork and strengthens interpersonal relationships. Improv theatre requires individuals to support and trust each other, as they rely on their scene partners for inspiration and cues. It also encourages risk-taking and embracing failure as learning opportunities, creating a safe space for experimentation and growth. The shared experience of improvisation cultivates a sense of camaraderie and shared ownership of the team's success. By engaging in improv theatre, teams can enhance their communication skills, develop a deeper understanding of each other's strengths, and build a solid foundation of collaboration and mutual support.

storytelling

Storytelling helps employees communicate messages more engagingly and effectively. Storytelling allows for the creation of an emotional connection with customers, partners, or colleagues, which can strengthen the brand, increase loyalty, and make complex ideas more understandable. Using stories to communicate values, goals, and visions promotes better collaboration, innovation, and creates a more inspiring workplace. At the same time, storytelling can improve presentations, marketing, and internal communication, making the company appear more authentic and relatable.

This workshop, where participants work on both creating and telling a story, offers the opportunity to explore the entire storytelling process from idea to presentation. Participants develop their creativity by building a cohesive story while also learning techniques to convey it with engagement and clarity. Through this combination, they strengthen their ability to both create compelling narratives and present them in a way that captures and holds the audience's attention.

Innovation

This workshop is an innovation process. Innovation fuelled by art and creativity is a powerful catalyst for transformative change. Artistic expression challenges conventional thinking, ignites imagination, and pushes boundaries. By embracing artistic approaches, organizations can unlock new perspectives, unconventional ideas, and fresh solutions. Creativity encourages exploration, experimentation, and risk-taking, fostering an environment where innovation thrives. Artistic practices, such as visual arts, music, or performance, inspire interdisciplinary collaboration and cross-pollination of ideas. They encourage divergent thinking, encouraging individuals to question assumptions and embrace ambiguity. Art and creativity cultivate empathy, enabling organizations to better understand their customers' needs and design innovative products or services that resonate deeply. By integrating art into the innovation process, organizations can tap into the limitless possibilities that arise when imagination and creativity converge, propelling them towards a more innovative future. The process can be applied to big organizational change as well as smaller personal challenges.  

Leadership and communication

Using improvisation and role play in communication and leadership training offers numerous benefits. Firstly, it enhances active listening skills by requiring participants to attentively respond to their scene partners, fostering better understanding and empathy. Secondly, it promotes adaptability and quick thinking, as individuals must spontaneously react to unpredictable situations. This cultivates agility and the ability to handle unexpected challenges. Additionally, improvisation and role play provide a safe space to practice and receive feedback, allowing participants to refine their communication and leadership style in a supportive environment. It also encourages collaboration and teamwork, as participants learn to co-create narratives and effectively work together towards common goals. Lastly, it boosts confidence and assertiveness, empowering individuals to express their ideas and lead with authenticity. Overall, improvisation and role play offer immersive and engaging experiences that enhance communication and leadership skills.

It encourages spontaneity, quick thinking, and teamwork, fostering a sense of camaraderie among the group. Additionally, improv theatre at a hen party offers a chance for the bride-to-be to embrace her upcoming role and celebrate her individuality while creating lasting memories with her closest friends before embarking on her new chapter.
