About this Workshop
Improv offers an opportunity to practice a range of skills and mindsets—including empathy, awareness, presence, resilience, flexibility, and creative problem-solving—that are at least as valuable off-stage as on. In this practical and playful session, using Kat's book "Training to Imagine" as a foundational text, we will explore: How the tenets and activities of performance improv apply to work and life, tips for choosing and designing activities to align with specific goals and contexts, and facilitation best-practices from set-up to debrief,
Experience Level
Improvisers with some experience who want to strengthen their facilitation and teaching skills in non-performatory settings; facilitators and trainers who wish to incorporate improv techniques effectively.
