What is improvisation technique good for in your company?
Team builder
Attention, presence, joint play. Of course, focusing on the area that needs to be developed. From a few hours to all-day programs tailored to your company.
More effective communication
The most important basis for joint work is good communication between colleagues, organizational units and departments. Sometimes we just need to connect broken threads, sometimes we need to tear down walls. Playing together also helps with this.

How to apply the principles of improvisation...
...during public speaking?
The very broad methodology of improvisation helps the development of public speaking skills in the following ways, among others.
Warming up
Just as you wouldn't run a marathon without warming up, you shouldn't start public speaking without physical preparation either. When performing, we use our voice for a longer time and with a greater intensity than usual. The repertoire of improvisational theater includes many introductory warm-up exercises that, in addition to their direct physical effect, energize and fill you with self-confidence before the start of the performance.
Positivity
One of the central principles of improvisation is "Yes, and..." This concept means that we are ready to accept every new situation and build on it. Positive acceptance of new situations helps us connect with the audience more easily and effectively during the speech. Developing and mastering the "Yes, and..." attitude not only helps in developing public speaking skills; it contributes to the development of personality in all areas of life, be it private life or the world of work.
Ability to live in
Another rule of improvisation is that there is no right or wrong solution to a given situation. Improvisational techniques make the delivery of messages more effective, but the main concern remains authenticity, not perfection. Improvisational techniques help everyone find the style that suits them best. Experiencing dedication, emotions, and humor makes the presentation unique and captivating. Many exercises are aimed at honing these skills. The audience of the performance is nothing but the audience who wants to watch and enjoy the production.
...in the development of teamwork?
The use of improvisation for corporate development began in the late 1990s, and has been used successfully ever since thanks to improvisational principles such as "Yes, and..." and "See your partner in a positive light".
Improvisation
Traditional theater uses a script, which dictates everything from sets, props, and costumes to the selection of actors. Improvisation, on the other hand, does not use scripts or pre-recorded texts, the actors play multiple characters and the audience has a say in how the story unfolds. The skills needed to improvise all of these can be learned and developed, which improvisational actors acquire through various improvisational exercises. These can be used in workplace and educational situations; they promote spontaneity, intuition, interactivity, attentive presence, non-verbal communication, improvisation, role-playing, risk-taking, creativity, critical thinking and teach that when we make mistakes, it often points to new opportunities and directions, so mistakes can be treated as positives rather than negatives.
Intuition can be learned
Improvisation can be defined as intuition that spontaneously directs action. This skill can be taught like other social and interactive skills. During the improvisation trainings, the participants learn through experiential discovery, everyone gets the opportunity to express themselves creatively, to play together, to have their ideas accepted and used by the group, and to be helped to solve their mistakes together by the team, and to use them as a new starting point as a different point of view . Improvisational theater exercises and games are tools that can be used on their own or complement any existing educational strategy.
"I heartily recommend the Itt és Most Társulat team to all employers! My colleagues and I were lucky enough to participate in a three-hour event organized by them, which was full of great atmosphere and added value that was particularly useful for both the employees and the employer to successfully manage our daily challenges as a team. We received so much positive feedback from colleagues after the event that we will repeat it as soon as we have the opportunity!"
