Workshop Description: Existence is improvisation. Most people outside of the performing arts are not taught improvisation and yet they have to improvise every day. Life Unscripted applies the basic tenants of great improvisational theater to serve as a guide to living a more spontaneous and fulfilled life. Drawing from contemporary understandings in depth psychology, attachment, and neuroscience and incorporating the skills of improvisational theater, we offer a paradigm to wake up and live our authentic story. This workshop offers the participants tools to enrich relationships, unleash the imagination, and build a more personally meaningful life.
Workshop Description: This workshop is intended to bridge the gap between intuitive, traditional forms of ritual medicine, and improv work. While some of the outlines of these practices may seem a bit foreign (“the knowing field,” “subtle energy”), many of the principles are quite similar to basic improv—generosity, intuitive response, focus, risk. The outcomes in this case, however, are geared toward creating “good medicine” or healing response, insight into conflicts and personal suffering, and the development of greater capacity for creativity and imagination. These are techniques perhaps best used at the outset before improv training actually begins.

The Social Change Model of Leadership Development is a purposeful, collaborative, values-based process intended to facilitate positive social change. The model was conceived and developed by a group of higher education researchers who referred to themselves as “the Ensemble”—building off each other’s scholarly work in an organic and creative manner. Over the past 20 years, the model and its corresponding tenets (the 7 C’s of Social Change) have played a prominent role in shaping leadership education curriculum across the country. Let’s explore how we can use the model as a framework for applied improvisation and leadership trainings.
