“- Build trust with the other fellow players. I could see the group learning how to play off each other and listen to each other. The group chemistry became so much better by the end of the workshop. That made it also more fun to perform with them.
- Build muscle memory through the repetition of the exercises.
- Having everyone contribute ideas on the idea board. It was helpful to look at the board before the performance and train our muscles to think about possible scenarios.”
