Teams
Activating creative communication and nurturing growth through workplace skills development and team building.
Drawing the nude human form is foundational in fine-art practice, but it also has the power to nurture wellbeing and drive personal and professional creativity in the public domain, a perfect combination for engaging teams.
Team Building
Team building has become a standard, effective option for developing efficient business operations while (and by) nurturing a healthy and productive work force. A key part of this success is working outside of a team’s day-to-day to realise the power and impact of creative thinking on group synergy, problem solving and ways of communicating. Life drawing ticks all of these boxes, making possible a fresh, collective dialogue with an external subject, the model, which enables an added dimension to realising a team’s cohesiveness and consistency of purpose.
Our team building experiences are ultimately designed for fun and synergy for colleagues in any industry, fostering:
Trust - Safety, confidence and the open sharing of ideas
Communication - Open dialogue, active listening and transparency / clarity
Collaboration - Knowledge sharing, leveraging strengths and working together
Accountability - Clarity of roles and responsibilities and owning and celebrating successes
Diversity - Recognition of unique perspectives and experiences, and their value to the team
Conflict Resolution - Establishment of processes for addressing conflicts in healthy and productive ways
Achieving Goals - Clarity of vision and purpose and working towards a common outcome
Creativity - Innovative thinking and problem solving and welcoming new ideas
Risk Taking - Increased comfort in taking calculated risks and trying new things
Learning - Continuous personal growth and professional development

Workplace Skills Development
We work with creative industries to strengthen skills in visual communication and expression. Using life drawing and portraiture, our teams endeavour to bring to bear the latent drawing abilities of all participants, in turn enabling clearer, more efficient and effective ways of conveying information.
While we specialise in working with architecture and design teams, we have expertise in designing and delivering one-off and regular workplace programmes for the entertainment sector, charities and statutory services.
