- Team Connection Through Creative Play
MY APPROACH
Not your typical workshop.
No more sitting around a table, listening.
We tell stories, move, imagine and talk things through: simple, human ways of learning we often forget we have. No drama experience needed.
Many of these methods come from theatre. Here, they become tools for connection and reflection.
- Everyone takes part
- Learn by doing
- Tools you'll use the next day

Meet Elana
Hi, I'm Elana.
I'm a creative facilitator and trainer with nearly a decade of experience working with participants from many sectors and over 35 countries.
My facilitation style is high-energy, playful and deeply inclusive. With an MA in Applied Theatre and professional training in group facilitation, I design sessions that are carefully structured and genuinely participatory, for organisations such as UN ESCAP, Erasmus+ projects, schools and teams across Europe, North America and Asia. Every workshop and training has a clear purpose, and every group leaves with something they can use, be it a new technique for their practice or a team decision that shapes an organisation's strategic next steps.
Kind words
What people say.
Elana's use of insights to build bridges and find practical solutions to embrace diverse perspectives consistently illustrates a genuine concern for others. What is perhaps most remarkable is Elana's creative consistency. With emotional intelligence skills to the fore, Elana can swiftly create environments where reticence fades, and both mutual respect and active listening become the norm.
Bryan LeeInternational Theatre Practitioner Elana is on top of her game! Her energy and enthusiasm made the session come to life. She designed fun and practical activities relevant to the participants' needs. And, Elana handled the debriefs effectively, so the exercises were impactful and resulted in insights.
Monica RodriguezLeadership, Sales & Communication Impact The workshop with Elana was not only joyful, it was also really strengthening the connection to myself.

HOW IT WORKS
What working together looks like.
Whether you're growing your own practice, tackling a team challenge or planning a team day, the journey is simple.
Step 1: Start the conversation
Tell me about your group and what you'd like to learn, change or celebrate.
Step 2: Shape it together
I design a training, workshop or team experience around your goals, context and people, and check in with you so it fits.
Step 3: Experience it
Your group steps into an active, creative session where everyone has a way to take part.
Step 4: Carry it forward
You leave with practical tools, agreements or shared memories, and we look at what's changed and what comes next.
No performing required: everyone takes part in their own way.
Let's design the session your team needs.
