Three ways to work together

Keynotes and workshops

For conferences, leadership meetings, offsites, and learning events that need a shared language and a memorable experience.

Outcome.A room sees the challenge differently and leaves with a move it can use.

Josh does not simply explain AI onstage. He directs it live, with the room as part of the argument. The audience watches a plausible answer fail, watches the direction change, and leaves with a move they can use on Monday.

    TheaterThink Workshop Suite

    Directing, Casting, and Rehearsing What Comes Next

    Participants apply the craft to a real team, project, or AI-enabled workflow rather than to a case study.

    Best fitWhen a room needs to practice the moves, not just see them.

Industry-specific sessions are built as variants of these talks rather than as separate programs.

Live-build sessions

Oops, We Built a Training Program

Participants watch AI make plausible mistakes, revise the direction, and build a real learning solution in motion. It is the clearest demonstration of the difference between prompting and directing, because the failures are real and happen in the room.

Rehearsing What Comes Next: A Certificate for L&D Leaders

A one-day hands-on lab that translates Artistic Intelligence into usable practice without requiring theater or AI expertise. The arc runs direct the work, cast the ensemble, rehearse the solution, interpret what emerged. Participants leave with a completed application to a real workplace challenge.
