This course explores a slower and more grounded style of improvisation that makes room for presence, emotional truth and real connection. Instead of rushing, we take our time. We listen, notice and let moments unfold naturally. We work with subtlety and depth. Small reactions, honest emotions and scenes that feel lived rather than performed. There is space for sharing, stillness and using our own experiences without forcing anything. We also explore a quieter kind of playfulness that is intuitive, poetic and sometimes abstract. We let the body lead, follow impulses and see what shows up when we don’t push for cleverness. Throughout the course we build trust in ourselves and in each other. This is improv with space to breathe, a place to slow down, connect and discover what happens when we stay with the moment.
