Why Improv Works
Improv is one of the most exciting and immediate forms of live performance there is - and it turns out to be an incredibly effective way to build the skills that make people work well together: listening, responding in the moment, and building on other people's ideas instead of blocking them.
The skills that matter most
Every improv exercise practises communication, adaptability, creative problem-solving, and emotional intelligence. Whether you're a team of 5 or 50, these are the skills that make the difference.
Our workshops create psychological safety - the conditions where people feel comfortable taking creative risks, making mistakes, and speaking up. Research shows this is the foundation of high-performing teams.
Through games and exercises that feel like play rather than training, people loosen up, connect with colleagues they might not normally work with, and leave with practical tools they can use immediately. And because improv is genuinely fun and creative, people actually want to be there - which makes all the difference.
What teams get from improv training:
- ✓ Communication skills - active listening, clear expression, reading non-verbal cues
- ✓ Adaptability & resilience - responding confidently when things don't go to plan
- ✓ Creative problem-solving - building on ideas rather than blocking them
- ✓ Presentation confidence - being comfortable with attention on you
- ✓ Emotional intelligence - reading the room and responding to others' energy
- ✓ Team cohesion - genuine connection, not just working alongside each other

We'd 100% recommend Dogface Improv to any organisation looking to build confidence, collaboration, and a fresh sense of creativity into their workplace culture."
From participants:
"Once you start pretending to be someone else and doing something a bit silly, the serious stuff (like speaking confidently) starts to feel a lot more natural. It's a safe space to mess up and learn."
- Kelly, Flagship Housing
"The sessions couldn't have been more uplifting and liberating for our group; I watched folks grinning from ear to ear, belly laughing and more importantly connecting and working together, it was fantastic."
"I invited Dogface to deliver an improv session at an NHS Staff away day – an important opportunity for people working under immense pressure to let go, relax and be silly. It was a fabulous couple of hours of escapism for everyone involved."
- Katy Hall, NSFT
"Having the opportunity to learn new techniques, and to push through the fear of failure, changed my perspective."
- Kieran, Flagship Housing
"It was such a fun and relaxed experience, and far less intimidating than I expected! A wonderfully judgement-free atmosphere."
- Amy, Flagship Housing
"A great way to try something different, build confidence, and connect with people from across the business you might not normally work with."
- Matt, Flagship Housing
10 Years of Dogface Improv
We started Dogface Improv in Norwich in 2014. Over the past 10 years we've built a thriving improv scene - delivering hundreds of workshops, training thousands of people, and performing countless shows. We're improvisers first, and that artistic experience is what makes our workshops different.
We've worked with NHS trusts, housing associations, charities, and businesses of all sizes across the UK. We know how to read a room, adapt to energy levels, and make people feel safe enough to take creative risks.
Every session is led by experienced improv performers and coaches who know how to facilitate groups and get the best out of people.
