We have many tools in our toolkit— drawing games, improv games, writing exercises, collage activities, and more.

Multi-Session Programs
A single workshop is fun. A multi-session program is powerful. Over the course of 2 - 6 months, a Creative Cross-Training program can dramatically shift the way that participants access their creativity and approach challenges.
This core program, adapted to the needs of your team, has the potential to:
-
Supercharge creative problem-solving skills and build creative confidence
-
Improve your team's connection, communication, and trust
-
Dissolve the fear and perfectionism that get in the way of groundbreaking solutions

Foster a supportive culture where creativity, out-of-the box thinking, and strategic risk-taking can flourish
-
Transform the way your team reacts when inevitable curveballs come their way
What is Creative Cross-Training?
In the same way that cross-training at the gym surprises muscles into getting stronger, toggling between artistic disciplines gives creative muscles an extra potent workout. These sessions use theater improv, drawing, collage, and other modalities to foster a team of agile, confident creative problem solvers.
The Creative Cross-Training program is tailored to the unique needs, challenges, and goals of your group. Let's chat about your current challenges, and what results you'd love to see from a creative series.
For maximum impact, suggested program length is 2 - 6 months, with sessions at least 2X per month. Programs are highly customized to align with your team's objectives and needs. Both virtual and in-person options are available. For pricing, please get in touch.
Why creative experimentation and play are awesome
Enhanced
creativity
Creative play builds new neural pathways that can make you a better creative problem-solver at work, school, and all other areas of life.
Stronger connections
So much of work now happens online, which can make it difficult to get your team in sync. Sharing a fun, challenging experience helps teams connect.
Stress relief
Creative play has been shown to lower cortisol (stress hormones) and boost endorphins (happy brain chemicals). Happy teams are more productive!
Employee satisfaction
Having fun in the workplace can help improve employee wellness, to prevent burnout and turnover, and improve retention.
