In this uproariously fun workshop, we soothe our spirit and reenergize ourselves with laughter. Guided by comedy improv pro Jacqueline Kabat, we learn the basic principles of comedy improvisation and how to use them to develop our personal potential in everyday life. Working together as a group to eliminate any individual fear, we participate and cheer for each other in a safe and nurturing environment—and have fun doing it. When we’re having fun, we’re relaxed. When we’re relaxed, we’re listening and communicating, and that’s when we’re able to overcome insecurities and express our full capabilities. By applying the central improv lesson of being completely present and open to whatever happens, we increase our confidence, improve our relationship skills, and learn to creatively deal with ambiguous and constantly changing circumstances. As we continue to practice the tenets of comedy improv upon our return home, we discover we can tap into the best within ourselves in any given situation with the healing power of laughter. Jacqueline Kabat has been involved in all aspects of comedy improv, sketch writing, and performing during her 12 years in New York City. She performs with the troupe Rash Behaviour, whose sketches have won awards in film festivals and television. Kabat teaches comedy improv for theaters, Fortune 500 corporations, and destination spas internationally. jacquelinekabat.com |
