“The improvisation practice has helped my facilitation style become more spontaneous and playful which is really super both for myself and my audiences.”
Celynn Morin, Wellbeing Speaker, Author & Facilitator
“I feel more comfortable in my own skin in a way that I haven’t before. I trust myself in the moment. I have already noticed my anxiety go down when things don’t go according to plan. I laugh and play in a way that I haven’t for years.”

Who is this for?
Best for people with some improv experience or confidence. For example, you may have done one or two courses with me or someone else. You are familiar with aspects of short and long form.
We don’t lean heavily on “being good” here. You are super welcome and complete beginners have joined these continuation classes. However, there’s less structure and support than there is in my The Delight of Surprising Yourself beginners’ course. Ask me if you’re not sure.
