Relationships take rehearsal, too.

​

WHAT WE DO

Inheritance Theater Project offers trainings and retreats that help people use storytelling, creative collaboration, and participatory facilitation to build stronger relationships across lines of difference.

Partners come to us because they want new ways to:

​

• build trust within teams and communities

• facilitate deeper conversation

• create more participatory spaces

• move beyond polarized or surface-level dialogue

• help people feel more connected to one another​

​

Our trainings are rooted in the same methodology we use in our community-based theater projects across the country. Training participants experience the process firsthand—not as students or observers, but as collaborators.

Using exercises drawn from improvisation, theater-making, spiritual practices, storytelling, art-making, and group facilitation, we invite people to step outside their usual ways of working and relate to each other in new ways.

​

​

OUR APPROACH

We believe people build relationships by creating together. 

Rather than debating ideas, participants are invited to:

​

• Share lived experiences and histories

• Practice listening with curiosity and care

• Engage through movement, play, reflection, and storytelling

• Collaborate creatively with others

• Practice making decisions together 

• Experience what trust-building actually feels like in real time

We draw from years of collaborative theater-making with communities across the country, curating activities and facilitation tools based on the needs of each group.
