When people think of improv, they think of improv comedy, but the skills of improvisation can be applied to many environments and many situations. The skills of the improviser can be applied to the professional world quite directly. Improv doesn’t just mean making things up off the top of your head, it also means being able to adapt to the moment, to be present, and to be able to engage with your audience. This workshop will have you working with others in creative collaboration, as well as individually, using improv techniques to enhance and heighten your abilities to effectively communicate and present in front of people. Improv is simply a way of getting out of your head and being creative. This will make you a better speaker, a more creative problem solver and a more flexible thinker.
