About Improvisation:

Improvisation (Improv for short) is commonly thought of as a comedy performance style where “making things up on the spot” or “being quick on your feet” make for an entertaining show. While true, there is more going on than the audience may realize. Improv is grounded in a set of powerful communication and awareness techniques. Taking these techniques off the stage and applying them to everyday work situations can help you achieve business results.
