Improv for Introverts with Mary Harvey

Improv for Introverts introduces the fundamentals of improv in a relaxed, low-pressure, and laughter-filled environment. Through exploring improvisational exercises, introverts are empowered to build conversational skills, think faster on their feet, and trust their instincts. If you’ve ever left a conversation and kicked yourself for not saying the right thing, or helped with the dishes at a party to avoid small talk, this workshop just might be for you! You will laugh, have fun, and learn a little something about yourself to help you through those challenging conversations.

This workshop will focus on smaller group interactions and improvisational games rather than performances or large-group activities. We will facilitate a maximum of fourteen participants. Join us for this exploration of "gentle improv".
