This session aims to explore the meaning of social anxiety, what it consists of, and what we can do to support our selves and each-other in a 'non-judgemental' way. This process will involve group exercises and activities, the objectives of which will be to engage with and support each-other, to give us an opportunity to share our personal experiences and learn from each-other. We'll be drawing from the fun world of improv games for some experiential experimentation and to facilitate the opportunity to grow.
This is a friendly group improvisation session based on theatre games, acting warm-up exercises and icebreaker games followed by short, playful, and light scenes, although there is no formal set-up. The aim is to help build self-confidence in social situations, make connections with others, challenge the boundaries of your comfort zones, explore self-expression, release social inhibitions and develop communication skills through fun, interactive and communal experiences.
So, if you like to have fun, make new friends and laugh while getting in touch with your creativity please come along :)
