What is Living Improv℠?
Improvisational theater, also known as improv, is an art form in which actors create scenes, characters, plot and dialogue on the spot and in the moment. Living Improv Groups pairs improvisational theater techniques with a facilitated process group. In the first hour we play improv games and exercises and in the second hour we sit down together to talk about our experiences and give and receive feedback. Living Improv℠ is both a method to learn more about oneself and a way to gain tangible tools to enhance aspects of everyday life such as personal relationships, family, career or school. All groups are facilitated by two licensed clinical social workers who have a background in improvisational theater.
Why improv?
The principles that help actors improvise scenes and stories, are the same principles that help people live their everyday lives with grace, joy, and acceptance. This is because life is improvised. In everyday life, we never know what will happen next and we don’t have a script to follow.
Who is Living Improv℠ for?
If you struggle with anxiety, mild depression, social anxiety, perfectionism, self-criticism, or doubt, or you’d simply like to learn more about yourself and connect with others in a playful and unique therapeutic environment, then Living Improv℠ might be a great fit for you. There is no need to have a prior background in theater or acting, or to be witty or funny.
Some benefits of improv:
-Increased Confidence

-Deeper and More Authentic Relationships
