DIY Improv Safety Toolkit with Mayumi Hikida
on Friday from 13:30' - 16:00'

About the workshop:

"You're responsible adults; you have to look after yourselves", says your improv teacher or group leader. Then, something uncomfortable happens. You know you should speak up or leave the scene/room — ugh, why is it so difficult to do so?
 
Let's make it easier for you!
 
In this workshop, you'll learn how to prepare yourself, respond to stressful situations, and care for yourself when affected. Exercises are conducted with a trauma-informed approach in an inclusive environment.
 
Your sensitivity is a gift. You can let it shine by creating a safer improv space.
