How?

We make people talk

Changes in organisations come about through people talking to each other. The problems arise when dialogue stagnates or stiffens into polite, ritual conversation.

Fiction doesn’t mean fixed performances
Strategies change with increased frequency. Today the old scripts no longer contain the necessary lines. It becomes more unpredictable what the next act will be about and who will play which parts. Dacapo uses theatre methods to reflect what's going on in the organisation - live. We create a lively dialogue, where everybody can participate, take responsibility and influence the changes.

Methods

We adapt our tools to the conditions and have several methods that we employ:

Café seminar
Open space
Storytelling 
Open House
Faction play
Playback
