What comes after Improv Class?
At the end of last winter's beginning OlyImprov class, we had people play the game "Thirty-Five Things" to record wheat they were going to do with the improv skills they had learned. Here's what they had to say.......
What I'll do with my new improv skills....
- Always make your Partner look good!
- In making others look good, act in the way to loose the inhibition of exposing my own self.
- Positive consideration of others interactions with me as "offers" - - my take being to accept and build on - - and to make them look good, especially when I might normally do a "yes, but" response.
- I want to use my improv learnings to be open more to how God, mystery, spirit is moving in me
- I would like to perform improv and use the skills I learned to not only improv my acting skills but to improve my skills as a therapist as well.
- I'll be using the warm-ups as simple team building, looking for ways to bring more fun to work.
- I's like to live with more grace, ease and spontaneity - - improving life and laughing.
- In my work in professional development I will maklethe participants look good. There are no wrong answers or poor behaviors.
- Embrace the spirit of spontaneity
- Storytelling
- Improv performance group, stand up, improving my way out of a mugging, and living in the Andes.
- I want to be a STAR!
- Mentor kids in nature skills
- Apply observational skills to life in general. Learn to listen better.

The not necessarily funny improv class provides a safe and fun environment in which to explore the power of these ideas and of play itself. Drag yourself out of the cubicle, away form the TV set and the winter doldrums and give play a chance.
