F.A.Q.
What do you do, exactly?
Great question. Thanks for giving us a chance to clarify.
We work from a position of inquiry and neutrality as both consultants and collaborators, to fully investigate the client’s situation and gauge the potential outcomes. Part facilitation, part divination, part institutional analysis, we partner with you and your team to create, implement, and analyze new solutions to your existing problems.
We also coach one-on-one sometimes.
How do you do that, exactly?
Again, great question. We use a muli-varied approach to assessment. Both direct question and eveidence gathering, as well as more intuitive group work, designed to get the entire team immersed in embodied thinking.This includes some neurotransmitter profiles, as well as a Big 5 indicator.
Our superpower is facilitation. Through engaging the collaborative powers of any group, we achieve quicker, more lasting success.
What is embodied thinking?
Based on the latest research about the actual functions of the left and right hemispheres of our brains, we are pleased to announce our allegiance to the Right. Brain. Right Brain, that is.
Right brained thinking is whole systems thinking. It is using terms like “sense,” “felt,” and “imagined,” are legitimate ways of informing a situation. The clearest and quickest way to this is through somatic work: intentional movement designed to awaken deeper access to our unconscious minds.
So, to understand more about why you are the way you are, you have to be in your Right mind. So to speak. That’s Embodied Thinking.
Why Theater?
Before you pick up a paintbrush to paint, or a pen to write, or compose, you simply are. The verb, “to be,” implies so much about our existential questions, but rarely gives us pause to consider what it means, “to be.”
Theater is “being.” Acting is “being.” From these expressive foundations we build the framework that theater training is necessarily life training. Tools like acceptance, inquiry in good faith, moral understanding and affordance, and a general virtuosity with social skills, are all sharpened by the pursuit of pure life expression emblematic of a theatrical artist’s ultimate aims.
We might argue, shouldn’t these be our aims, too?
