When I started doing (movement) improvisation in the late 1980s my life was changed forever. Research has now shown that improvisation of any kind is beneficial in numerous ways: increased problem solving skills, increased confidence, stress release, etc. I find that the most fun and inspirational way to practice improvisation is to weave various kinds together to create unique and powerful sessions that are maximally adaptable to everyone's needs.

The emphasis is on experiential work - actually doing. But it's also a real course, meant to impart knowledge and wisdom so you don't forget as soon as you leave the course or walk out the door. So there will be some small readings or some discussion of various techniques, methods, questions, etc.

Most importantly, we will be co-creating the sessions. You will be encouraged to try things out, work in solo and group formats and explore ways of telling stories and expressing that you had maybe never considered before. It's meant for anyone from absolute beginner to experienced improviser.

But what will we do?
*Thoroughly warm up our bodies
*Practice Body-Mind integration
*Play with Objects, Space, Timing, Our voices, Our sense of Hunmor, Create Poignant, Funny, Sad, Impactful Scenes, Roll, Jump, Practice neuroplasticity, Learn to listen better, Stand still, Move as a group, Find your place in a group... infinite possibilities which are shaped by the uniqueness that is each group composition.
