This experience includes an Implied Improvisation Workshop with Teaching Artist DeAnna Massie.

In this highly interactive workshop, DeAnna will introduce you and your team to the art and practice of applied improv. Participants will get hands-on training in engaging techniques and games that help develop leadership skills, concentration, confidence, creativity, verbal and nonverbal communication skills, and listening skills. This is an ideal professional development opportunity for your company, professional association, or any community that wants to learn how to work better, together.
