The hybrid approach of APPLIED IMPROVISATION AND APPLIED THEATRE provides the students with:
Leadership skills - How can you lead without knowing who you are? These emerging leaders will gain self awareness and know how to tell a story - especially their own! They will learn the power of descriptive storytelling that influence and transform an audience.
Crucial collaborative experiences - Students bond and work with others who have experienced barriers/oppression very different than their own. Interns will learn techniques that foster trust upon which every great relationship is built.
Communication skills - The students gain developed skills in facilitating dialogue and instigating change toward social justice which will be key during the Q & A’s after each performance.
Confidence - Improv has been called “the key to success” for future leaders. The ability to adapt, think flexibly and apply “Yes, and...” is universally agreed the #1 skill to survive in the 21 century.
Healing - Listening is one of the key principles of improv and nothing in the world feels better than being heard! Not only will the interns feel energized after the opportunity to authentically and expressively tell their story and that of their peers, but they will have inspired empathy from their audiences.
