Why should you learn to improvise?

People practice improvisation for different reasons. Think of it as a gym. Some members want to work on their arms, others on their stomach or their back. Similarly, improvisation is a way for shy people to gain assertiveness and for assertive people to develop their listening skills. In our classes participant learn to work as a team, laugh at their own mistakes and perform under pressure.


To take power. New knowledge is being generated by all the participants and emerges from practice and observation rather than lecture and prescription.

To be engaged. Playing engages participants emotionally and physically as well as intellectually. With nothing to prove, they can let go of their fears and step into the playground.

To rehears. Improvisation is like "real life with a rewind button". Making mistakes is considered bold, as faillures allow the group to discover new rules and to try again with insight.

To benefit. Players practice relaxation, communication and problem-solving games collaboratively. The practice improves their presentation skills as well as their capacity to think on their feet and show leadership.
