Corporate Theatre
Igniting change across teams and organisations
Igniting Organisational Change
Chain Reaction also work in partnership with the private and public sectors to ignite organisational change. Bringing our dynamic approach into these environments is a sure fire way to mix things up and get people listening!
Over the years we have received various commissions to work with thousands of professionals, gaining a great reputation for providing bespoke, message-focused drama interventions at conferences, training programmes, in-house events, and even on video.
We’ve done all sorts but here are just a few of our favourites…
Mental Health
Shropshire County Primary Care Trust asked us to research, write and produce an original 15-minute piece of theatre to help improve the service received by mental health patients at the first point of contact, which inspired change in 750 GPs and surgery staff over three conference dates.
Child Safety
The NSPCC had seen us perform at another event and approached us to help convey the outcomes of a survey they had done, at their community conference SAFE KIDS: It’s Up 2U. We created two 15-minute pieces of theatre – one communicating the results and the other looking at how the community could make the area safer for local children.
Customer Care in the School Canteen
In partnership with Surrey County Council, we developed Bring on the Lunch, a hugely entertaining training package teaching the school lunchtime team that kids are customers too. With a funny and informative 20-minute video and a training resource pack, we address the issues of customer care, hygiene and successful team working. Bring On The Lunch has been used by Local Authorities all over Britain so if your lunch staff need some pepping up, just get in touch!
Cervical Cancer
We devised and performed a 15-minute show on the difficult subject of how to approach the public about smear testing at a training event for pharmacists run by the Waltham Forest Primary Care Trust.
Adult Social Care
The London Borough of Tower Hamlets Adult Social Care Team asked us to create two sketches to be performed at their annual conference for Social Workers. The sketches were to present a new strength-based practice focused on collaboration and open communication styles. The conference was attended by over 150 Social Workers, who all took part in a discussion following the performance about the ways in which they could put the styles they’d been presented with in to action.
