Impropera is a growing favourite for
business events and workshops

Business audiences are famously jaded. Now more than ever, they are looking for something that’s entertaining, inspiring and, above all, different. Impropera is one of those rare solutions.

Two ways clients like to incorporate our work into business events and celebrations are:

• A customised world premiere – a stand alone entertainment in which we create a one-off opera, for, about and (because your people are involved in everything that happens) by your company.
  
  
• Operatic conference moderation – instead of the usual, dry spoken links the punctuate most conventional events, Impropera weave the events together with musical comments, reflection and observation. The company moderated the 2004 London Business Forum.
  

Either way this a highly interactive approach where there’s no room for people to be bored or drift off. Chances are they will probably be singing a chorus by the end. Even those who can’t sing (or think they can’t).

Impropera’s Business Workshops
Business as Unusual

How important is it to you that your business can respond quickly and inventively to the unexpected? Could you use a bit more inventiveness at work? Do you or your team need a shot of renewed energy or just time out to reconnect with each other in an enjoyable new way?

The ability to cope with and thrive on change is fast becoming a central competency for the successful company. For most of us the spontaneity is there, but underused. There isn’t time, we’re too busy, it’s too risky, we play it safe. Imperopera’s Business as Unusual workshops are a chance to let your creativity off the leash and practise some wanton inventiveness with your colleagues.

You’ll be working with the impropera team for the day, working smoothly through the fundamentals of effective improvisation, demystifying the skills and picking up tools and insights you can apply directly to your workplace.

Do you need to sing well? You can leave the need to anything well at the door. This is about getting things more interesting, not getting it right. Whatever level you can sing, groan or bark is absolutely fine.

An experienced team

Between them the members of the company have over 800 business projects to their credit. Impropera’s Artistic Director David Pearl has pioneered the use of arts in the area organisational inspiration, change and development (see the theothercia for more information).
