This workshop will introduce a set of simple improv games or exercises that promote creativity, problem solving, and are easy to learn. They are also fun. We will review the game rules, demo them, play them, and then reflect/analyze.

Allaying some common concerns:
1.    I'm too shy: this is a safe space, many people who come will be shy, you can play "shy" and your other characters can react and give you things to respond to, and its all over in a few minutes.
2.    This is touchy-feeling and can't help me in my professional life:  improv training is now a standard component of many fortune 500 professional development courses
3.    I'm not funny: you don't have to be, trying to be funny is a "crutch" in this work, you just have to be present, listen hard, and respond with the fist thing that comes to your mind, which often turns out to be funny for reasons you would never expect.
4.    My English is not perfect. Excellent! That is a great offer to your partner.
