    Fun and Creative Language Workshops to Improve Public Speaking, Presentation, Spontaneity, Acting

    I use Improv Theater to help people develop better public speaking, spontaneity, creativity, team-work, and leadership.
    Improvisational Theater is the art of theater performance where there are no scripts and where everything--characters, setting, and plot, is created spontaneously and based on the suggestion of the audience.

    It is used in universities and second-language learning centers, also widely used in global companies such as Google, Disney, and startup companies in Silicon Valley.

    In a workshop we will be using exercises from Improv Theater to improve the student's confidence, quick-thinking, and command of the English language in a fun and engaging way.
