FREE YOUR MIND FOR CREATIVE FLOW THROUGH IMPROV

This class series will focus on exercises and games that are ridiculous enough to take us out of the conventions and concerns of regular life, fun enough to overcome the inner judge always ready to monitor us for being "good enough" and shoot down our most interesting ideas, and at the same time grounded in the neuroscience of resilience. The intention of this play is to be fully committed to the improv experience, but not take ourselves too seriously, to exercise maximum creative freedom - within a structure that helps us all get on the same page - and discover what gets in the way of the artistic freedom. If there is a project, piece of writing or change you think about putting into action and need encouragement, this class can help. Also, improv is a natural mood-booster, enhances cognitive capacity and emotional agility, all elements that free our mind to express our gifts, connect to and express our ideas, and elevate one another.

This class is designed for anyone who wants to try improv, from absolute beginners to more advanced participants who want to renew the foundational skills of improv, revisit some familiar games and learn new ones. It is an opportunity to experience the creativity boost, sense of possibility and joy that arises from these experiences. We will focus on the basics, which generate creative energy, radical encouragement and support within the group, and more laughs that you can possibly predict. It’s comedy that we make ourselves, and reap the benefits in feeling inspired and uplifted. Join us!

CREATIVE EXPANSION FOR PERSONAL GROWTH:
Applying Improv To Therapeutic Goals

This workshop is an experiential, grounded exploration of the therapeutic elements of improv games and exercises. We will discuss the research that supports the mental health benefits of improv exercises and do exercises that demonstrate social-emotional skill development, resourcefulness under stress, and the ongoing project of self-awareness and self-growth that is facilitated by engaging in creative and emotional risk-taking within a psychologically safe and structured situation of support.

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
