WHY USE ROLE-PLAY?

Role-play is an effective way of helping people improve their skills in business or educational situations. It enables participants to learn and develop soft skills in a safe, positive and constructive environment.

 

Using actors means that the situations will be realistic and consistent. In addition, the inclusion of constructive third-party feedback can make a huge improvement in the client’s confidence and development. Participants have commented on a marked difference in their professional performance after using role-play as a technique.

 

At Scenario, we have experience in the application of role-play to a wide range of situations.

THE ROLE-PLAY BRIEF

Scenario often holds meetings and workshops before the training session or examination to establish a brief which enables us to design a varied and engaging session to suit the individual needs of the client.

 

Activities can include role-play to focus on individual targets, forum theatre, small group or large group work and interactive sessions. We aim to make our work funny and entertaining as well as focusing on the objective of the day.

Scenario role-players have worked extensively in schools, colleges, exclusion units, job centres and prisons. Recent projects have involved designing scenes, improvising forum theatre pieces and facilitating interactive role-plays for a range of different key stages.

 

Frequently requested subjects and themes include enterprise, interviewing skills, racism, bullying, drugs awareness, homophobia, knife crime and gangs.

 

As with all Scenario projects, the role-players are briefed in advance and always meet to prepare the sessions which are specifically targeted to meet the objectives and needs of the school or college.
