Improv Is Not Just for Comics!

Led by Rachel Klem, Acting Coach and Instructor, NC State

Improvisation is a technique developed to improve communication between people whether on stage or the workplace. Relax, focus, listen, and respond in unexpected situations is fundamental to improv exercises, all designed to foster better communication between people with widely different experiences and knowledge bases. The goal of this workshop is to recognize that what you do and what you wish to share needs to be adjusted, sometimes radically, depending on your audience. No more “blah, blah, blah” talking heads! Science needs to be accessible to everyone. Wear comfortable clothes and get ready to interact.
