Details

Come play fun group games while unlocking your authentic creative inner voice! This is a safe container to express your imagination while connecting with others in an authentic way.

Why play improv with us

Is spontaneity an inborn quality or a skill to be learned?

In improv, we believe one can cultivate spontaneity through carefully curated exercises to relax your mental muscles.

Using classic theatre techniques, improvisation theatre has many psychological benefits. You will find yourself more present, trustful, and spontaneous as well as develop skills such as:

  • Creativity: you will have greater in yourself in generating ideas quickly

  • Public speaking: through improv games you'll learn how to deliver

  • Empathy: you will learn to put yourself in others' shoes and see things from their perspective by taking on different characters.

  • Active listening: you will learn to listen to your partner and respond effectively and clearly in the moment.

  • Teamwork: improv is never done alone. You will collaborate better with others by accepting and expanding each other's ideas.

What we will do

  • Group exercises and warm-ups to feel safe and heard by each other

  • Scene games to play out longer narratives

There is no "right" way to improvise. Each person has a unique way of seeing the world, and we celebrate freedom of expression through theatre exercises that bring your imagination to life.

The games and exercises are designed to tune into yourself, trust your intuition, and listen to others. You will learn to let go of your own mental judgment and let intuition lead you where you need to go.
