Think Fast: Workshops

#1 Improv for Real Life

A one-time workshop

Perfect for anyone curious about improv but not ready to commit to a full course.

• Fast-paced improv games that get everyone laughing within minutes.

• Practical communication exercises that improve listening, confidence, and quick thinking.

• Simple techniques for getting out of your own head.

• A welcoming environment where mistakes aren't embarrassing. They're the point.

• No pressure to be funny.

• No acting experience required.

• Plenty of opportunities to participate at your own comfort level.

You'll leave with a few new friends, a few new skills, and probably at least one story you'll tell people later.

#2 Team Building

For businesses and organizations

Great teams don't communicate because they're forced to.

They communicate because they trust each other.

This workshop uses improvisation to strengthen collaboration without feeling like another corporate seminar.

Skills include:

• Active listening

• Adaptability

• Problem solving

• Communication under pressure

• Supporting teammates

• Creative thinking

• Leadership without ego

Every activity is interactive, engaging, and surprisingly fun.

Nobody gets called on.
Nobody gets embarrassed.

Everyone participates.

#3 Custom Workshops

Every group is different.

Whether you're a school, library, theatre program, convention, youth organization, church, nonprofit, or private event, workshops can be tailored specifically for your goals.

Possible topics include:

• Public speaking

• Creativity

• Confidence

• Storytelling

• Icebreakers

• Leadership

• Team communication

• Performance skills

• Stress reduction through play

No two custom workshops are exactly alike.

Five Week Course

Week One

The Power of "Yes, And"

The first class isn't about being funny.

It's about learning to stop saying "No" to yourself.

You'll learn

• The foundation of improvisation

• Accepting ideas instead of blocking them

• Listening instead of planning

• Building trust with scene partners

• Supporting others without stealing the spotlight

• Why confidence begins with acceptance

By the end of the night you'll already be performing scenes.

Week Two

Listen Like It Matters

Most people don't actually listen.

They're just waiting for their turn to talk.

This week changes that.

You'll practice

• Active listening

• Observation

• Emotional awareness

• Reacting honestly

• Discovering scenes naturally

• Creating believable relationships

This is usually where students realize improv is much easier than they expected.

Week Three

Finding the Funny

Comedy isn't about telling jokes.

It's about recognizing what's already funny.

This week explores

• Character creation

• Emotional commitment

• Patterns

• Heightening ideas

• Status

• Physical comedy

• Authentic reactions

You'll discover your own comedic voice instead of trying to imitate someone else's.

Week Four

Confidence Under Pressure

Life rarely gives us time to prepare.

Interviews.

Presentations.

Networking.

Unexpected conversations.

This week is about staying calm when your brain wants to panic.

Skills include

• Thinking on your feet

• Public speaking

• Handling mistakes gracefully

• Staying present

• Trusting your instincts

• Owning the room

Many students say this week impacts their work life more than anything else.

Week Five

Play Big

The final class is a celebration.

Everything you've learned comes together through larger scenes, longer games, and collaborative performances.

You'll experience

• Ensemble games

• Group storytelling

• Character work

• Long-form scenes

• Supportive coaching

• Constructive feedback

• A relaxed showcase atmosphere

There isn't a graduation test.

There isn't a competition.

Just a room full of people doing things they couldn't imagine doing five weeks earlier.

What You'll Leave With

After five weeks, you won't just know improv.

You'll be more comfortable speaking in front of people.

You'll become a better listener.

You'll stop fearing mistakes.

You'll become quicker on your feet.

You'll communicate more naturally.

You'll trust your instincts.

And if you happen to become funnier along the way...

That's a pretty nice bonus.
