In this highly interactive session, we will use three experiential exercises to introduce participants to the techniques of improv comedy. The “Yes-And” technique of improv, which involves listening and supporting one’s partner (s), can be used in class to develop deep listening skills of students, and help them become better communicators and team players. We will also illustrate how the versatility of improv techniques makes it possible to use them effectively across all levels of students. We believe this session is quite timely because the rise of digital communication is eroding the crucial face to face communication skills of students.
