How Participating in Drama Productions Help Improve Emotional Intelligence

Esteemed poet and playwright Oscar Wilde once said, “I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being.” Indeed, there is something pure about drama.

A glimpse into the human mind and emotional responses When playing [...]

Benefits of Applied Improvisation for Interviewing Skills

Few things are more nerve-wracking than a job or college interview. So much is at stake; a lackluster performance could be all that stands between you and your dream education or your dream career! Even if your resume is filled with accomplishments and qualifications, that may not be enough to get the nod. You have to show to the person interviewing you that your resume is not just padding, but reflects who you are and what you have done. [...]

Applied Improvisation, when done correctly, equals success in school, business and life!

Collaboration, Confidence and Creation Applied improvisation, when done correctly, exemplifies that creativity happens collaboratively by using the principle of short turn taking between individuals in the group. In an atmosphere of positive purpose, everyone is encouraged to contribute. Fear, suspicion and anxiety are replaced with focus, creativity and sense of collaboration. This approach allows individuals, groups and organisations to release their creative potential and over time increase their confidence. – Applied Improvisation Network 2017 www.KidScapeProductions.com *International* Skype and video training’s available!

Improv & Role Play for Communication = Emotions + Active Listening + Perceptions + Follow Up / Clarification + Reflection = SUCCESS!

Being able to “relate” in our relationships becomes the architecture of our personal and professional lives. Over the past few years, I have asked thousands of children and teens to show me a job that does not require building a relationship to have success. While extreme efforts were put into place to prove the idea wrong, at the end of each discussion the truth remained that communication between people is necessary for success and survival. Successful communication is about give and [...]
