About us

Training that doesn't feel like training

VIBES is the training division of Hi5 Stage and Screen Productions, a Bangalore-based theatre company. We specialize in behavioral skills development through interactive drama — replacing tick-box training with experiences that genuinely change behavior.

Interactive Drama Live scenarios mirror real workplace challenges — participants intervene, debate, and redirect the story in real time.
Humor-led Insight Comedy and wit disarm resistance and open minds, making it easier to absorb and retain lasting behavioral change.
Outcome-focused Every session is scoped to your specific learning objectives and organizational culture — no off-the-shelf content.

Why it works

The drama difference

Traditional training ticks boxes. VIBES changes minds. Here's why learning through interactive drama delivers outcomes that no slideshow ever could.

"Experience has shown that our techniques are highly effective at engaging delegates, encouraging exploration of complex issues and engendering debate amongst peer groups."

Safe space to explore sensitive issues Drama creates a low-risk environment where participants engage freely with difficult workplace topics.

Deeper retention through emotion Emotional storytelling drives memory. Participants remember what they felt, not just what they heard.

Humor disarms resistance Comedy and wit open minds, making it easier to engage with challenging behavioral concepts.

Sparks genuine peer dialogue Scenarios provoke real debate that outlasts the training room — changing everyday behavior.

100% custom — no off-the-shelf content Every scenario is written for your organization, your people, your culture.

Active participant intervention Learners don't just watch — they step in, redirect scenes, and co-create solutions in real time.
