“The Power of Line” Collaboration Activity

A collaborative art activity focused on line work to strengthen teamwork, communication, and creative problem-solving skills.

A shared drawing process to explore how teams move together

WHY CHOOSE THIS ACTIVITY

This workshop is a strong choice when you want to focus on collaboration and how decisions are made together. The simplicity of working with lines strips away complexity and allows patterns of influence, hesitation and leadership to become visible. It gives teams a structured yet playful way to examine how they connect and move as a group.

WHAT WE ACTUALLY DO

Participants work collectively on large-scale drawings, building compositions using lines, marks and simple shapes. An artist facilitator introduces short exercises and constraints that invite people to respond to each other’s gestures, adjust their approach and make joint decisions about how the work evolves. The process alternates between individual contribution and group reflection.

WHY THIS TYPE OF EXPERIENCE MATTERS

Shared drawing tasks like this bring underlying dynamics to the surface in a non-threatening way. People experience what it is like to lead, follow, interrupt or support within a creative context, then connect those insights back to daily work. The experience helps teams talk more openly about collaboration and creates a common reference point for future conversations.

We organised a work team event here. The team from DYA were super helpful and lovely to liaise with. Our employees had a wonderful time and we received lots of great feedback. Would definitely recommend!

Building Trust in Teams through Creative Activities

What Australian Teams Say

FAQ

Most corporate workshops run for 90 minutes to 2.5 hours, depending on the program and your schedule. Some activities can be adapted into shorter “creative reset” sessions, while others work best as half-day or full-day experiences. When you enquire, we will recommend a duration that fits your aims and the flow of your event.

We work with small teams through to large groups. Each program has a recommended range for group size, which you’ll see in the program details. If your numbers sit outside that range, let us know and we can suggest formats or adjustments that will still give everyone a good experience.

No. Our corporate workshops are designed for people who do not see themselves as creative. Instructions are clear and step by step, and the focus is on the process and connection rather than on producing a “perfect” artwork. Many participants are surprised by how comfortable and enjoyable it feels once they get started.

Most programs can run at our Port Melbourne studio or at your workplace. Some can also be delivered at offsite venues or adapted for online and hybrid formats. The program page outlines the main options, and we can talk through what is realistic for your team size, budget and location.

We supply all art materials and facilitation for the creative activity. If the workshop is at our studio, you simply confirm numbers and any access needs. For sessions at your workplace or another venue, we usually ask for tables, chairs, access to water and protection for surfaces if needed. We will go through any specific requirements with you during planning.

Yes. Many of our corporate workshops can be customised to reflect your values, event theme or current focus areas such as wellbeing, collaboration, leadership or change. Some programs are more structured than others, but there is usually room to adapt framing, reflection prompts or visual elements so the session speaks directly to your context.

Absolutely. Our programs often sit within larger events as an energiser, connector or deeper reflective element. We can work with you to position the workshop at the right point in your agenda and match the tone to the rest of the day, whether you need something light and social or more focused on leadership and culture.

For popular dates and larger groups, it is best to book several weeks in advance. However, we can sometimes accommodate shorter lead times, especially for weekday sessions. If you have a specific date in mind, contact us as soon as possible and we will let you know what is available and which programs can work.

While each program is different, common outcomes include stronger connection between colleagues, improved communication, fresh ways of thinking about challenges and a clearer sense of shared purpose. For Trained and Lead programs, there is often additional focus on soft skills such as collaboration, decision-making, psychological safety or leadership mindset.

Pricing depends on group size, program type, location and any customisation. Many workshops are charged per person with a minimum spend. When you share your details and preferences, we will send a clear quote outlining inclusions, options and any additional costs such as venue hire or catering if relevant.
