What is improv?
Improv (short for ‘improvisation or ‘improvised comedy’) is a creative and spontaneous performance art-form that's practiced worldwide. Its principles can also help foster cohesive and innovative spaces, making it an excellent training and skill development tool in the corporate world, schools, and team environments. Our workshops focus on developing personal and professional skills like flexibility, teamwork, and problem-solving by embracing the unexpected.
Key benefits

Effective communication is key to success in design and creative agencies.

Design and creative agencies often rely on teamwork and collaboration to produce successful outcomes.
