For many people, hearing the word improv conjures the image of sitting in a comedy club watching a troupe perform unplanned sketches. This is often partnered with a vague fear of squirming in their seats hoping not to be called on for suggestions or participation. Many others though have come to regard improvisation not as a comedy performance piece, but rather as a hugely beneficial business training tool. Applied Improvisation is the application of theatrical improvisation tenets in non-theatrical fields. In other words, improv isn’t just for comedy clubs anymore. As a business management and team building tool, applied improvisation is a surefire way to tap into your workforce’s teamwork skills and make them even stronger.
