The Learning Theatre

The last (out)post

To many managers, managing people is one of the most problematic areas in their skills set to acquire. And in South Africa with our diversity of people and cultures a manager needs to have hair on his, or her, teeth to cross the cultural minefield without stepping on toes or alienating half the workforce and causing a riot or a strike through some inadvertent remark. 16 May 2012 09:19

The Learning Theatre

The thin red line

"Trending" in the workplace

Advertising practitioners spend grand sums and many manhours to try and touch the pulse of the societies into which they try to sell their clients' products. A whole new vocabulary has sprung up around social networks to describe this phenomenon - "trending" is the Nirvana for any adman worth his salt. If you can create an ad that will "trend" on Facebook, Twitter and all the others then you have made it. Your client gets gigantic exposure for their product, you get the kudos and your reputation is made. 9 May 2012 13:36

The Learning Theatre

Soap stars or superstars?

The pole, the dance floor and the disco DJ

Often when touring with an Industrial Theatre production, the cast is required to perform in less than ideal spaces. Crew from The Learning Theatre have had to perform in parking lots on the back of trucks, at taxi ranks, on a conveyor belt in a sawmill, underground in a gold mine, on an aeroplane, in buses, in boardrooms and in canteens. On occasion they have even performed in real theatres! 18 Apr 2012 12:46
