At Root Experience we’ve always been fascinated by the transformative power of play. And, for us, it all started on the stage.
Initially as a theatre company we devised immersive performances that challenged the conventional actor-spectator relationship. Using theatrical techniques and constructs, we’d assemble a communal space in which audiences could contribute their own stories, shape their own experiences and even reconsider their roles in the ‘real’ world. We well and truly knocked down the ‘fourth wall’.
This got us thinking about how we could use drama and improvisation to help people better connect with one another in their communities, classrooms and creative spaces.
So we started making interactive shows, events and games where our participants could challenge their own perceptions and ask provocative questions of society.
And we developed educational programmes to help teachers and children to find their creative voices. We also travelled the world to teach people the art of facilitation, showing them how to better channel their creativity to inspire it in groups of all ages.
Throughout this journey, we’ve discovered just how powerful gameplay and drama can be. In shifting social boundaries. In breaking barriers to learning, self-expression and empathy. And in encouraging us to interact without fear of judgement. Fun is freedom. And we’ve found that having fun and diving in – feet first – is the best way to grow.
