Through participation in fully inclusive group and individual exercises, students explore the fundamentals of improvisation as a communication skill, a foundation for creativity, and as a unique performance art. Students will develop skills in active listening, being in the moment, flexibility, overcoming the fear of failure, and confidence in both small and large group environments. Exercises will strengthen students’ vocal and physical instruments, and expand storytelling, teamwork and decision-making abilities.

This noncredit program is designed for personal and professional enrichment, and is taken along with Cape Cod Community College for credit students.
