Recommended by Experts
“The exercise forces participants to actively listen – something many people often struggle to do. It also reinforces the idea of being open-minded and to accept others’ ideas instead of immediately rejecting or critiquing them.”
“It’s no surprise that improvisation is seen as a kind of holy grail for creativity. Whether it’s comedians or musicians, the act of creating something novel and interesting out of next to nothing is, indeed, quite remarkable.”
“Studies have shown that people can improve their communication skills and lower their anxiety with regular practice. Improv’s low-stakes training increases the likelihood that team members will feel comfortable communicating in a variety of work situations. “Yes, and” is the key.”

FAQs
We find it’s best to budget at least 2 hours for a workshop. That length gives everyone enough time to get comfortable and try all the exercises for maximum benefit. We’re also happy to do half and full day workshops to really get you flexing that improv muscle.
That’s the goal. Everyone will feel involved and included in a safe and fun way. No one is ever asked to perform in front of the group or anything like that.
Not at all. Everyone will be pushed to go just outside their comfort zones (but no further). Our facilitators make sure everyone feels comfortable throughout the workshop.
Enough space for everyone in the workshop to spread out comfortably. These workshops can also get a little noisy, so being away from other people is also key.
We’re happy to help figure out the perfect spot, just ask!
Not at all… but you will laugh a lot! While improv is typically funny, this isn’t about teaching you how to make people laugh. It’s about using improv as a way to let you look at your business critical skills in a new way and connect with your team on a whole new level.
Our instructors have enough capacity for up to 30 participants. Beyond that, it’s best to bring in a second instructor to help or split the group into two and run two workshops back to back.
