“Games and story bring out the Self, rather than
the ego” – Viola Spolin

Why use Improv Comedy in Corporate Trainings?
Improvisation is rooted in a few simple tenets; listening, support and play. The world’s best improvisers are collaborators in the truest form of the word. When we relax our inner editor, trust our scene partner, and invest in discovery, we’re capable of creating something wonderful right away.
We take the skills that we incorporate on stage and apply them to the real world. We help individuals and teams:
- Celebrate their choices
- Trust in their point of view and intellect
- Accept and build on teammates’ choices and ideas
- Turn the unknown into shared possibility
In our bespoke workshops:
- We take the pressure off of being funny and clever and put it on authenticity and support.
- We emphasize listening to understand rather than waiting to respond.
- We help people find their hidden superpowers . Everyone has one.
