Improv Abilities and Strategies
I had a very enjoyable conversation with Jenny from www.funnygirls.org last night. They teach leadership and life skills to girls in grades 3-8 using improv.There’s a lot of life strategies we can take from improv.
- Affirming one another rather than denigrating, ignoring, or contradicting one another.
- Learning how to laugh at ourselves and seeing the humorous side of things.
- Pivoting when something is not working and trying something different.
- Collaborating and connecting.
- The freedom to be self-expressed.
- The freedom to try new things – and sometimes fail but we learn that no one dies and that through creativity we can recover.
- Adapting quickly to an unexpected change of direction.
Perhaps we should improv life a bit more rather than operating under the illusion that we can script it all.
Much Love,
