The Hideout Theater
Corporate
Life doesn’t have to be safe, and work doesn’t have to be boring. At the Hideout Theatre we teach the risk-taking and playfulness that allows you to do what you do better and have more fun doing it. You can surrender control, make mistakes and lower your expectations with shockingly effective results.
Put us in the room with your management team, volunteer staff, HR department, church group, book club or girl scout troupe, and we’ll introduce you to powerful improv ideas and methodologies.
Improv training changes people — even a brief exposure can work wonders for your business or organization.
Every weekend at the Hideout Theatre in downtown Austin professional improvisers make up games, scenes and stories from absolutely nothing. The tools they use to entertain audiences, create collaborative theater off the cuff and make obviousness look like genius are the same tools you can use to work more enjoyably and productively.
- Improvisers celebrate failure as a marker of risk.
- Improvisers want to be fun to play with, so people will want to play with them.
- Improvisers strive to be in the moment because that’s where we genuinely surprise ourselves.
- Improvisers say “Yes, and…” because accepting someone’s idea and adding to it is more constructive and efficient than shooting it down and starting over from scratch.
- Improvisers cultivate listening and communication skills so they know what’s going on at all times and can express themselves as precisely as possible.
- And above all, improvisers believe that IF YOU’RE NOT HAVING FUN, YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG
