Creative Collaboration: The Art of the Intensive Interactive Relationship

Training Course Schedule: 9am – 4pm

Dedicated morning training workshops will explore the underlying processes that can accompany interactive relationships and how we can develop these into successful creative strategies. There will be a focus on:

• Intensive Interaction
• Active and Creative Listening
• Key skills such as pace, rhythm, repetition, and anticipation
• Developing our observational skills
• Strategies for Group Work

In the afternoon, we will join the Zone Clubbers and facilitators for an interactive creative session, giving you the opportunity to further explore and develop your skills from our morning workshops.
