CentreStage have always been a joy to work with. They are refreshingly flexible and have a natural ability to form partnerships quickly. The skilful interplay of Forum Theatre and Real Play has consistently provided dynamic and fun learning experiences across a host of audiences. The ability to work across different clients operating with completely different scenarios is a real hallmark.   This capacity is underpinned by an excellent understanding and mastery of their craft as well the depth of their professionalism and preparation.  Their genuine appetite to understand the client context, and shape the interventions accordingly, sets them apart.

We have regularly worked with CentreStage over the last couple of years.  Our trainers have personally benefitted from the insightful contribution they have made in the preparation and delivery of training sessions we have had with our clients.  The foundation of our partnership is the shared commitment to provide real life scenarios and characters, created by a plethora of business experiences, allowing our participants to hone the necessary management and leadership skills to improve interactions in their workplace.

Using professional roleplayers is the closest thing I've found to allowing individuals to practice skills for real. Working with Centrestage is effective and fun - they have built a great deal of expertise in this field and carefully listen to understand and meet the clients' requirements.
