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
Communication abilities

Creativity and problem-solving
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.

You'll walk away from this class feeling invigorated, inspired, and ready to bring your newfound skills into your everyday life. As a recent study showed, practicing 'yes, and…' within a group has been linked to "improved interpersonal communication skills, trust, and personal satisfaction" (Herriman, 2021), suggesting that incorporating these principles into adult life can help improve relationships and overall well-being.
