What is applied theatre?
Applied theatre is drama in action—using simple techniques like role-play, improv, and storytelling to spark real breakthroughs in everyday settings, from workshops to teams.
Why It Works
It’s not about performing on a stage; it’s about you stepping into new perspectives to build skills, confidence, and connection. People who try it often say it’s the most engaging way they’ve learned—because it gets ideas into your body, not just your head.
Perfect for Learning & Development
At Embue Collective, we use applied theatre to make workshops unforgettable: tackling challenges like leading meetings or building empathy with play that feels natural and fun. You’ll leave equipped, energized, and ready to apply it immediately—no dry lectures required.

The workshop with Elana was not only joyful, it was also really strengthening the connection to myself. I gained a lot of inspiration on how I can make heavy topics that require societal change accessible to others. To really make it feelable. I can fully recommend this transformative experience.

The drama course was an amazing experience. We learned not only working techniques, but most importantly we learned to be ourselves. Our trainer Elana is a good leader who created unforgettable experiences.

Thank you so much my dear Elana! It was a real pleasure to have spent those days with you. Your expertise, kindness and availability made this course a real rewarding experience and I will always take what you taught us for life.
– Morgane, Coliving Owner
Working with Elana for the last 3 years has been an absolute gift. I never have to worry about how my online events will go, I know she will be on it 200%, bring the right energy, sense the different personalities, and notice when we need to switch things off. Her energy is contagious and she is so quick to know what to do when, adapt and react to whatever situation you can fully relax and focus on delivering your content, knowing your audience will laugh together, dance together, reflect, share and genuinely connect through Elana’s magic.
