I am currently taking an introduction to Improvisation Comedy class. Improv is a fun way to practice…

• awareness: it’s hard to keep people’s attention if your own attention is wandering
• listening: respond to a group story rather than one’s own preoccupations
• acceptance: in improv, you working as a team–and other people have some weird ideas
• healthy risk-taking (AKA healthy vulnerability): it gets the dopamine going; it builds competence and resilience
