How We Support Your D&I Goals
Some benefits of partnering with Unscripted Productions for Diversity and Inclusion
Foster Authentic Communication and Collaboration
Our programs teach the benefits of authentic collaboration through experiential learning and application
Address Unconscious Bias Through Interactive Exercises
Our programs force participants out of themselves in a way that they recognize others as gift givers and assets, not threats
Build Spaces of Collective Trust and Psychological Safety
Our programs are intentional in design to allow for a slow, purposeful progression of low-risk, high-reward experiences that allows walls to come down and authenticity to take hold
Our Approach
At Unscripted Productions, we believe that the best way to foster real, lasting change in team dynamics is through experiential learning. Our applied improvisation methodology creates a safe, interactive space where participants can engage, reflect, and grow in real-time.
What is Applied Improvisation?
Applied improvisation uses the principles of improvisational theater to help individuals and teams develop essential skills such as active listening, adaptability, trust-building, and authentic communication. By engaging in spontaneous, creative exercises, participants practice these skills in a supportive environment, which leads to deeper understanding and lasting change in the workplace.
Why It Works for DEI:
-
Radical Acceptance: Improvisation teaches the importance of accepting others as they are and building on their contributions—key principles for fostering an inclusive environment.
-
Collaboration and Trust: Teams learn how to collaborate without judgment, creating a space where diverse voices and ideas are heard and valued.
-
Bias Awareness: Improvisation challenges participants to recognize and overcome biases, allowing them to approach situations with greater empathy and understanding.
Pre- and Post-Assessment for Measuring Impact:
To ensure that our workshops are not only engaging but also impactful, we conduct pre- and post-assessments to measure growth and effectiveness. These assessments help us understand the baseline needs of your team and track improvements in communication, collaboration, and inclusion after the workshop. This data-driven approach allows us to continually refine our offerings and demonstrate the tangible benefits of our programs to your organization.
Our experiential, applied improvisation methodology creates a dynamic learning environment that drives change at a human level—empowering individuals and teams to embrace diversity and build stronger, more inclusive cultures.
