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
Improve communication
Improvisation training can be incredibly beneficial for children, helping them build confidence and communication skills. Through exercises that focus on active listening, responding quickly and effectively, and building rapport, our workshops help kids become more comfortable expressing themselves, both verbally and nonverbally. Improvisation also teaches children to think on their feet, and to respond confidently and creatively to unexpected situations, helping them build the confidence and resilience needed to succeed in all areas of their lives.
Increase teamwork
Teamwork is a crucial skill for children to learn, and improvisation training can help. Our workshops focus on building trust, communication, and active listening, helping kids work together more effectively and collaborate on projects more efficiently. Through games and exercises that require teamwork and collaboration, we teach kids the value of working together and help them develop the skills they need to succeed in group settings.
Create positive and supportive environments
Improvisation training can also have a positive impact on a child's overall well-being. Our workshops create a safe and supportive environment where kids can feel comfortable taking risks and being creative. Through exercises that encourage positivity and support, we help kids build a sense of community and belonging, reducing stress and anxiety and creating a more positive and enjoyable environment for all. Improvisation is also a great way for kids to have fun and let loose, helping them develop a lifelong love of learning and creativity.
