Using core dynamics from professional improv theater, your team will discover — in a fun and engaging way — new ways of working together. They’ll learn to listen, communicate, enhance emotional intelligence, and move towards becoming a high-performing team.
In theatrical improvisation, being present is essential. Mindful attention is cultivated toward the body, others, the space, and emotions. Every scene is born from the here and now.
Improvisation activates creativity like a muscle. It trains spontaneous idea generation, lateral thinking, and the ability to shape the invisible.
Improv creates a safe space where trust is built through play. Trusting intuition, the ideas that arise, and collaboration. Everything is supported by the connection between participants.
Connecting with diversity by playing different roles and understanding others’ perspectives. Developing the ability to put yourself in someone else’s shoes by training listening skills and gaining a deeper understanding of your own and others’ emotions.
Improvisation is a complete form of communication. It develops the ability to convey meaning through words, body, intention, and silence. Everything communicates.
Improv trains openness to change and mental flexibility. Every suggestion is an opportunity to explore new possibilities, learn from mistakes, and build from what emerges.
The customized experiential learning workshop with theatrical improvisation fosters team collaboration and creativity. It is ideal for high-performance work teams or any group of people who want to get to know each other better and strengthen their self-awareness, bonds, relationships, and mutual trust.
These are special exercises that professional improv companies and schools use to activate attention, practice storytelling, and foster collaborative action, safety, and trust in others.
