AMPLIFY WORK BY SHAPING THE WORKSPACE

The spaces that we work in influence the work that can be done in ways more profound than we imagine. By designing meeting spaces and collaboration spaces we can encourage productive conversation and innovation.

In this Studio we delve into the principles of making space for performance. We pay attention to how the form of the space encourages and discourages certain kinds of work. Far from being an esoteric study, this studio will shed light on how to design space for effective work, and how to adapt to the spaces we are given to better serve the kind of work that needs to go on within them. We will also consider different types of collaborative work, in divergent and convergent forms, and look at what spaces serve these specific types of work to best effect.

For this Studio, the InPlay consultant (or Mentor)
 works alongside a theatre practitioner with specialist study in scenography – the art of making spaces that amplify the drama that occurs within them. We explore design principles for work spaces, and possibilities for adapting to the more constrained spaces we find ourselves working within.

What you can expect:

  • We will examine the relationship between spaces and specific kinds of work.
  • We’ll give you tips for hacking spaces that are given to us, to get better work happening within them.
  • You will build a sense of the various genres of collaborative work, and what kinds of spaces encourage quality in that collaboration.

Beyond the Studio, we will give you principles to take into account whether you have the possibility of designing new work spaces, or making best use of existing spaces.

This Studio is a half day session.  Or, as with all of our curriculum modules, we can combine this Studio content with others to create one or more express sessions for your team, providing familiarisation, inspiration and ideas to take forward.

Whichever format works best for your team, we will tailor content to directly address your organisational needs, as framed in the initial consultancy.
