Improv for Writing: Adapting for the Classroom

Improvisation theater is based on the premise of "yes, and" - accepting creative choices and building on them. During this interactive workshop, participants will connect the basic improv principle of "yes, and" with the storytelling and writing. This approach enables writers to honor their own ideas and push through the idea generation phase into drafting in real time. 

Participants will be introduced to improvisational games and tools to bring to their own classroom. Adaptations will be shown to adjust games and expectations for different age groups.

Yes! And... bring your writing implements and an open mind. Handouts will be provided along with resources for the classroom.
