coup Improvisation Masterclass
Improvisation helps you to become comfortable with uncertainty, which helps you to be much more resilient and engaging. You are alive and creative in the moment. Not dialling up the performance you prepared the day before.
Improvisation is creative thinking in action.
When people are expected to be open, attentive and responsive to customers or colleagues, the disciplines of improvisation, presented effectively, are invaluable performance enablers.
Improvisation workshops teach about being in the present, tuning into the senses, accepting the offer, riding the create impulse and working together. New exercises and frameworks are introduced to manage the gradient of the workshop.
The essential benefits of practicing improvisation are that people develop transferable skills that enable them to:-
- Trust and harness their creativity to solve problems and innovate
- Work collaboratively with colleagues and customers.
Improvisation work can help people access that part of their imagination that existed before the ‘editing’ or socialisation process and re-acquaint themselves with the breadth and depth of their creative responses. Children act on their imaginative response but through socialisation and education the world becomes more grey. We learn to stifle these responses and instead respond in a way that is considered “right”.
In a business sense, improvisation work helps people explore riskier and potentially more powerful ways to communicate. It builds trust around instinct, as often our first response is right… we just don’t trust it. It helps people respond spontaneously in the moment and adapt to change. It opens them up to different options about how things could be.
