About Improv:

Improv or Improvisational theatre is the most sensational art form created in the last 100 years.

Improv is based on the principles of spontaneity and building together (Yes-And). The improvisers go on stage without a script and create stories and scenes based on suggestions from the audience. To be able to do this, improvisers go through a set of exercises and games to develop their skills towards quick and innovative thinking and working together as an ensemble.

Hence, improv provides us a great toolkit to enhance core skills like active listening, imaginative thinking, spontaneity, and working as an ensemble. All this in the most gamified pedagogy possible.
