Improv@Work
A lot of work goes into building the curriculum for an improv class intended to be delivered to a corporate client. What's the big mystery you might wonder? Well sure, lots of the workshops have the same exercises in them and even if they didn't, lots of the exercises that make up the study of improv have similar takeaways.
So it's a fair question.
But the reason that these exercises reappear is that they can be applied in many different ways. Their order matters, the duration they exist within the curriculum matters, and of course the focus for that given day matters.
I'm thinking about a curriculum I built for an Arlington, TX client, in particular. Maybe the most ubiquitous of all improv exercises for improv classes used in improv corporate training sessions is an exercise called Yes And Conversations. In Yes And Conversations participants have a series of conversations with random partners that typically demonstrate the power of embracing each other's ideas and supporting them, even when they may sound a little off.
But for my Arlington Texas client that takeaway just wouldn't work. His team didn't have a problem of not supporting each other. In fact they supported each other, and everyone else they interacted with, too much.
They were people pleasers and they never said no.
The result of their people pleasing ways was that their department wasn't functioning properly. The bottom line was being hurt and my client’s management style was under review.
Now that's a lot and one improv workshop isn't going to even begin to fix all of it, but we wanted it to have at least have an impact on where this team currently was. So I designed a curriculum intended to help people grow comfortable with and feel empowered to say no.
And I used Yes And Conversations in that curriculum, but I tweaked it so that the conversations would involve suggestions that must be rejected. In between the conversations we sat down and discussed why it was so important to say no to certain suggestions and what the impact of saying yes to certain suggestions would be.
It worked wonderfully. My client was delighted!

I'd say the Arlington Improv scene has seen better days, but I'm not sure that's true. No active theater exists at present but there is an inacurately named stand up that at least has the word improv in its title. RA's free online classes are probably best bet to study improv without leaving the city limits.
