The Art of Improvisation
Improvisation (improv) is an art form that brings you closer to yourself as it elicits freedom of creative expression. It is a form of active mindfulness as it teaches you to be in the present moment and helps you unlock your innate creativity.
It is the theatre of adventure!
Improv teaches basic improv skills and performance techniques. You don't have to be a performer to do this course and it will enhance your life in every way.
Improv develops your storytelling ability, increases confidence, enhances your listening & communication skills, builds resilience and much more, while having fun!
