This workshop will start to enhance your skills in public speaking, focused listening, responding and specificity – leading to not only greater confidence and lower inhibitions when teaching but also greater flexibility in your personal teaching style.
Improvisation is not just something for actors and comedians. MBA Students are being asked to take improv classes. Why? The answer is the same reason why educators should be trained: the root is in communication. Even the basic improv principle of “yes, and” is the essential idea behind inquiry.
Improv is a life skill that builds confidence, enhances listening and responding skills and encourages collaboration. It is all about the moment, the right now – essential to good teaching practice and communication.
Improv is a lot like training for a marathon. You do not go to the gym once and then run thirteen miles. People can’t just walk into a classroom or a gallery and start teaching. By training your brain, you are sharpening your skills.
