Applied Improv uses the principles and techniques of improvisational theater to improve creativity and communication skills in non-theatrical settings. In a safe and playful environment, participants explore and develop their existing talents, overcoming barriers to dynamic communication and full engagement in the creative process. This is not a lecture series, but a laboratory in which students experiment with new skills and principles and are encouraged to expand their comfort zones. Business and other 'real life' applications of course material are discussed.
