We recently devised a performance for the Accommodation and Campus Services Department of the University of Sheffield around the issue of staff absence and returning to work interviews.  The piece is designed to initiate debate, and result in training, in how best to deal with these statutory interviews, and issues related to personnel and managing absences.

We know the tangible, real-world benefits of imaginative planning and measured risk taking have, both as artists and as a business.  We also recognise that the the skills we have as artists and creative practitioners are valuable tools in other settings, including business planning, public consultation and awareness raising, as well as in training and professional development.

We work hard to help people and organisations unlock their creativity and find imaginative responses to entrenched problems.  A big part of our approach is giving people the confidence to try a new solution and imagine a better way of doing things.  The natural creativity that we all posess is often the key to overcome the challenges we face both professionally and personally.  We believe that helping people to utilise their creativity and imagination is one of the best techniques for empowerment.

By listening and understanding what our clients need, and what they hope to acheive we are able to devise a measured and imaginative response to the challenge that they face.   Some challenges seem insurmountable, the rate of change in some areas of life can leave the world feeling alien and un-navigable; communities, organisations, neighbourhoods and even indvidual experiences can feel hostile and de-humanising.  We can all be left feeling as though we can't cope, that their is no way round a barrier that stands in the way of our progress. 

So all of our work focusses on the capacity we all share, the capacity to invent, create and cope when faced with a problem or challenge.  We create spaces, through performance and facilitation, where people can face challenges, understand them, and overcome them.
