- I had long written off the trust game that involves one partner leading a blinfolded partner around the room, avoiding bumping in to furniture or other participants. Having read the description, it's obvious what you will get from the game, isn't it?
Of course when I finally deigned to play it, the felt experience of playing the game was very different from the intellectual experience of analysing the written description of the game. Another reminder for me that the map is not the territory. And that you can learn something different from just doing stuff, rather than reading about it.

- I facilitate groups a lot of the time - team set-up meetings, post-project de-briefs, strategy awaydays etc. I also mediate in workplace disputes, and train new mediators in workplace mediation.
I played a lot of improv games 20 years ago when involved in youth theatre, and am a recent returner to improv as I see increasing links with the facilitation and mediation work that I do now.
