1934 out of 1976 Americans are scared to fail.
These numbers are made up and totally fictitious, but the point being that "when we fear making a mistake or looking foolish, we are reluctant to take risks or try new things." Fear of failure holds us back. Does this sound like something you experience in your life (be it professionally, socially or creatively)? If so, improvisational play is a therapeutic path to walking through this block! Improv teaches us how to take risks & to respond confidently in the moment to whatever happens. Failure is inevitable and part of the human process, so it's important to learn to face the fear of failure & transform it into success.

Some folks hear the word “Improv” and get a little scared. They think “I’m not funny” or “I’m not a performer”.
If you notice these fears popping up within you, just know that these thoughts are totally normal and chances are, also a strong indication that these workshops are probably absolutely PERFECT for you. Although plenty of “funny” people and “performers” are a part of our community, Improv Playground is not a workshop or community geared towards entertainers per say. Or even, being funny. The Improv Playground community has a unique approach. We use games, fun exercises and improvisational techniques as personal growth tools… as a way to change the way you think and show up in the world. Think of it like game night. A chance for adults to play. A place to tap into your inner child and be goofy again… all while developing amazing skills sets. We play together as a group in a safe container that provides the tools and resources that help you think quicker on your feet, increase self confidence and overcome challenges. In fact, we encourage you to make mistakes and discover the joy in doing so. Improv Playground provides a delightful haven where we reconnect with our silliness and playfully push our limits in fun and humorous ways. We work together to strengthen our abilities to think outside the box, communicate, listen... and most of all, TRUST ourselves! Think of it like working out our well-being (to get in top notch playful shape) :) Welcome to our Improv Playground community!!! |
