Improv Classes and workshops
Even if you haven’t seen a show, you’ve probably heard of improv – but what exactly is it? Improv is simply a form of live theater in which everything performed is created spontaneously by the performer. But it’s not just about performing, in fact many people take improv for all kinds of reasons other than for stage. Improv is an indispensable tool to build social and emotional skills. Certainly improv is important if you’re interested in acting and writing, but improv really is for everyone. Improv teaches listening, communication, teamwork, collaboration, adaptations and problem solving. All of these are positive life skills that also help to build confidence and imagination.

Does your child identify as atypical or neurodiverse?
Improv is especially beneficial for so many types of children, no matter their situation. Improv helps neurodiverse kids foster better social and emotional awareness of self and others, increases flexibility and expands comfort zones, It helps children with learning and physical disabilities develop a sense of play, and enables the socially awkward and intellectual types to socialize more easily.
And what about kids who are introverts? Those who might be reluctant to raise their hands in class, audition for the school play or just speak up in general. Introverts generally like to always be prepared and can struggle when things change quickly. Improv teaches to learn to respond in the moment and to be flexible with ideas. It also builds confidence that enables introverts to put themselves out there in a way that is not always comfortable for them.
When they know they’ll be supported no matter their answer, atypical, neurodiverse and introspective kids thrive.
