Studies show a link between creativity, well-being and life satisfaction, and anyone can apply this research to their own life. Improv games and exercises are among the most effective, immediately effective ways to boost self-esteem, well-being and creative energy. The skills and techniques improvisers use to tap into spontaneity, engage with others and focus on the present moment are tools that help us become more aware of mental habits that get in the way of creative flow while practicing skills for expressing it. When we are in the "flow" state we have greater access to ideas, inspiration energy, and imagination.

This class will feature improv games and exercises that are accessible, highly engaging and fun. Anyone who wants to learn the tools and techniques that make it possible for people to create something together in real time can enjoy and benefit from the experience. In addition to the joy and psychological expansion that arises through improv, the experience is deeply encouraging and  supportive, making the skills more likely to be available in real life situations.

ACTING IN-TO A NEW WAY OF THINKING:
Applying Improv To Therapeutic Goals

This workshop is an introduction to the therapeutic elements of improv games and exercises. Research shows that calibrated creative and emotional risks expand the capacity to tolerate uncertainty and the unfamiliar. The therapeutic process involves engaging with the unknown, and strengthening resilience for navigating what we cannot predict about what is emerging through the change process. The improv exercises in this workshop are designed to cultivate uncertainty tolerance, tap spontaneity, and deepen understanding of how experiences like this translate to skills and strengths that promote therapeutic change and growth process.  READ MORE OR REGISTER

In this class we will warm up with fun, creativity-generating exercises and super-charge our support for one another. Then we will explore different ways to initiate, create characters and sustain the dynamic tension in scenes. We will aim for maximum fun and the most expanded realities we can create together. We will do at least 1000 scenes over the course of 5 classes. Maybe 500 scenes. At least 150. We'll see how  many scenes we can do.  You have to be in the class to find out. It's going to be amazing.
