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 [...]
