How it works
The Improv class is two hours of exercises, games and activities focused on flexing your bodies and your brains. The class gives you the opportunity to see how Improvisation practices can support and grow your approach to problem solving, strategic thinking, team dynamics and communication. Mostly, it gives you the opportunity to have some fun, let off steam and re-connect with parts of yourself that have the capacity to sustain you when things are tricky. Fun is an action – so it is possible to create it and benefit from it even when things feel really bad -(Mike Rucker, PhD – author of The Fun Habit). This class is an opportunity to Notice more, Jump in and Using everything experience the benefits of fun in all aspects of your life.
It’s run by Interact Now’s director, Joy Stewart. Joy is an award-winning playwright and director, and a psychotherapist. She uses Forum Theatre and her 3 by Three program to give people tools to develop new perspectives, manage their communication more effectively and also to relax and recharge.
Spontaneity is key to everything important in our lives, from our careers to our relationships. It’s also a skill you can actively work on. A skill you can harness to help you feel more aware, more connected and, most of all, more alive in the moment.
How does creativity help me?
Neuroscience tells us that extended periods of stress, exhaustion and trauma all have an effect on our brain. Ours brains are the control centres for everything in our lives. When our brain gets overwhelmed, it can often end up becoming stuck – developing habitual behaviour patterns and responses that don’t necessarily serve us in the here and now.
The good news is our brains are elastic – they can change, but they need some help. This class puts you in touch with the possibility of new neural pathways. A chance to hit reset and experience the world anew.
Places fill quickly, so book now to avoid missing out.
“Spontaneity is the ability to have a new response to an old situation and an adequate response to a new situation.”
