Why Keep Learning?
Kat Brown, Community Manager of Training shares why it is so vital for improv performers to keep training and enjoying classes.
Finest City Improv presents “Hyper Yes-And” with Kevin McGeehan!
Every improvisor is taught from their very first day of class the idea of “Yes And.” It’s become an improv creed of sorts! Yet, even the most skilled improviser can learn more about this idea and how to play it in its many forms.
Ready to have more fun and make new friends?
I thought it was going to be about making up funny skits. I had no idea that taking improv would actually impact other areas of my life. It has taught me to “Say YES!” to more things, to listen more, allow there to be silence (even though that is SO awkward!), and that making a mistake can actually be an opportunity for something awesome. I even used my improv skills to get a promotion at my company (in clinical research as a trainer). So that just shows you that improv can be applied to any field of work. And making awesome friends has been an added bonus!”
