Improv-Based Techniques
Improv-based techniques bring principles from theatrical improvisation into facilitation settings. Participants take part in short, structured exercises drawn from improv training, such as "Yes, And" conversations, status games, and group storytelling, then debrief to connect the experience back to their working lives.
