The Improviser's Mindset: An Improvisation Workshop

This event will be held in Fisher 2A

Educators are, at heart, skilled improvisers, balancing the structure of academic content with the spontaneous moments that bring learning to life. By embracing the spirit of improvisation, instructors can spark laughter, build trust, and create genuine camaraderie among students. Improv encourages collaboration, confidence, and creativity - not just as classroom tools, but as pathways to a more joyful, welcoming, and supportive community. This workshop invites participants to experience engaged pedagogy through active, on-your-feet learning, where discovery and connection go hand in hand. After all, improv skills are life skills.
