Learn about the Rapid Fire Exchange
Imagine circling a roaring fire-pit and hearing brilliant stories that make your senses flicker with excitement, wonder, and amusement. Let us tell you a story…one about how sparks of inspiration spring to life to build community. A community that uses positivity and collaboration as fuel, turning single words into comedy, drama, fantasy, and adventure to fuel more than 40 years of impact.
Pull up a stump and let us tell you about Rapid Fire Theatre.
Rapid Fire Theatre is well known for playing weekly improv shows for packed audiences in theatres across Edmonton and around the world. We also teach workshops for the young and young-at-heart looking to gain the confidence and skills needed to thrive in work and life.
However, allow us to let you in on a little secret…we’ve used the power of improv in more ways than you can shake a fire-poker at. We’ve taught positive leadership to the CEOs of Alberta’s largest corporations. We’ve developed lasting relationships with inner-city communities through engaging education programs. We’ve taught mindfulness and play to recovering cancer patients and their loved ones.
Improv is the kindle that ignites personal and professional development. Improvisation teaches people how to be present, stay focused in the moment, remain positive, and actively listen. It builds confidence, enhances collaboration, and prepares us for the unprepared.
Collaboration and support are foundational pieces of improv. The practice of improv gives ample opportunity to feel what it’s like for someone to have your back, and in turn, you having theirs. A feeling of encouragement that can stick with us in everything we do. Plus, the inclusivity of improv is unparalleled. Its flexibility means it can be adapted to fit the needs of anyone while keeping it affordable for everyone.
The communities we serve, organizations we support, and lives we affect will be better supported by a consistent community hub, a home for stories and creation for years to come.
With your help, we can do even more.
