IMPROVISATION

Or Freeze!

Everyday life is an improvisation. You don't think about what you are going to do, or say, all the time. Sometimes life is routine, at others you just don't know that will happen next. When facing a new situation – like in an interview – you may experience a ‘freeze' moment, when you can't think what to do or say. Improvisation helps to overcome the panic that this causes, by giving people the chance to play and get practice - in relaxing and listening to yourself.

This workshop is all about coming through the ‘freeze' and losing your fear of being put on the spot. The key to this is developing a playful attitude, freeing the imagination and going with the flow. Playing, not working at problems, will often open up the most creative solutions.

The benefits of improvising are that it:

•  increases self-awareness and self-confidence

•  raises energy levels and positive feelings

•  develops flexible thinking

•  fosters the ability to think on your feet under pressure

•  unlocks and feeds the imagination

•  generates ideas and inventiveness in problem solving

•  encourages experimentation without fear of failure

•  gives you lots of opportunities to laugh
