Why?
Our teacher Burgert Kirsten got accepted as a workshop leader/speaker at the AIN Global conference in Prague this summer. On the 5^th of July he does a try our version of this workshop. Improv Utrecht is proud that their trainer is selected, so we organise this free workshop including a network event, meet other trainers and applied improv professionals.

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

To be human is to live in the tension between polarities, doing and being, belonging and freedom, masculine and feminine and so on. We often have a preference for one side of a polarity and a rejection for the other side. However, balance, health and creative energy comes through integrating both sides.

This isn’t just true for us as individuals but as a collective. In teams, organizations and communities there is tension between structure and flow, leadership and followership, tradition and innovation, and the list goes on and on. In this learning journey, we will play with polarities in an individual and a collective level. First by identifying what are the important polarities we need to bring in focus by using polarity mapping and then through applied improv and forum theater create an embodied experience to bring these polarities into balance to unlock growth and creative energy.

This workshop is based on a case study in which Burgert used the polarity mapping tool with Forum theatre to help an IT architect team to shift from a psychologically unsafe culture to a psychologically safe one.
