Fostering Creativity and Problem-Solving in Uncertainty

In our rapidly changing world, the ability to adapt and create solutions in unpredictable situations is more valuable than ever. Recent research highlights that "Improvisation is [...] a tool for engaging participants in an unpredictable co-creative process, fostering creativity and problem-solving under uncertainty" (Herriman, 2021). Our class embraces this principle, offering exercises and activities that cultivate adaptability, spark innovation, and build resilience in the face of the unknown.

• Emotional response

• Listening skills
• Storytelling abilities
• Ability to see failure as a gift
• The power of saying 'yes, and'

Improv for Anxiety and Social Skills

Recent research has shown that improv training can significantly reduce discomfort with uncertainty, a common trait of social anxiety and depression[2]. Whether you're an introvert looking to boost confidence or someone dealing with anxiety, improv provides a safe environment to practice social interactions and build self-assurance.

Class Structure

During each 2.5-hour session, our experienced instructor will guide you through our latest collection of innovative improv exercises that focus on collaboration and acceptance. These activities are specifically curated to facilitate self-discovery, ensemble building, and forge new connections.
