Improve With Improv Play It Forward

This course strengthens a child’s ability to cope with uncertainty and manage anxiety because improv is reliant upon trust. These courses focus on how participants can support each other by becoming active listeners. When this happens, an environment is created that allows children to build stronger relationships and to generate better ideas together. Improv’s value extends beyond the stage into classrooms, workplaces, and our daily lives. Learning through improv:

• Helps students gain confidence

• Builds literacy skills

• Proves what’s possible when they practice and persevere

• Provides a creative outlet that allows them to find and express their unique voice

• Builds valuable social skills

• Helps overcome social anxiety and awkwardness

Our newest project, provides hands-on experience learning new instruments and performing with others. Music affects us socially and emotionally in profound ways and it acts as an exercise for the mind because playing an instrument engages nearly all areas of the brain at once. Learning music:

• Supports academic focus and achievement

• Is therapeutic and builds social skills

• Stimulates auditory, visual, and motor cortices of the brain, thus allowing students to apply that new-found strength to other life activities
