The workshop will outline research in applied improv related to mental health and psychotherapy. We will cover how improv supports mental health even when it is not practiced with a psychotherapeutic aim and by psychotherapists and also studies of applied improv as a deliberate psychotherapeutic intervention. We will explore improvisational training principles that have proven to be beneficial for mental health and psychotherapy with various target groups (considering the age or type of mental health difficulties). Another area of research that the workshop will tackle is how improv supports the professional development of people working in caring professions (such as therapists, social workers, educators, etc.). Applied improvisation offers vast potential for training programs in those professions of which some have been already explored in research. Most of the studies have been written and published in the last eight years so there is apparent growing interest in AI in academia and mental health care.

On a scale of 1-10 how risky is skydiving? Giving a speech to 1,000 strangers? Walking home alone at night?  Saying “no” to your biggest client? How would your best friend answer these questions? Your boss? Your mom? Our senses of risk and safety are unique. What you find scary may be easy and comfortable for others and vice versa. As a facilitator, balancing risk and safety involves offering the right level of support and challenge. This requires specific attention to the needs of the individual and group. Without creating safety, we may shut down or resist. Without being presented with a challenge, we can remain stuck in our comfort zones, and opportunities can be missed. In this interactive session we will deepen our understanding of our own comfort zones and how to best support our participants.

In today's rapidly evolving landscape of professional development and education, trainers often find themselves grappling with a fundamental question: how much should I charge for my services? This question is not just about assigning a monetary value to one's expertise, but also about understanding the true worth of the knowledge and skills they bring to the table. At the "Calculating Your Worth" workshop, we will explore the intricacies of pricing strategies in the training industry. Workshop will provide a comprehensive framework for participants to assess their value proposition and determine appropriate pricing structures.

This workshop is about getting to know the difference between real teamwork and group work. Real and therefore time-consuming teamwork is not always necessary. However, when it comes to looking for new solutions and the future must first be invented, then real teamwork is required. For real teamwork to succeed, co-creativity is urgently needed. And there are ways to foster co-creativity in teams, e.g:

• the security of knowing we can tolerate uncertainty and contradiction-enough, 

• time to work without pressure, 

• access to our unconscious 

• accept each other’s offers and build on them, 

• the "yes, and..." principle-diversity, to throw a different light on problems, 

• an atmosphere in which team performance is acknowledged, 

• the freedom to make mistakes without being penalised.

After a short theoretical input on these topics, we will try out many exercises on co-creativity and the "yes, and.." principle for use in teams.

We’ve all had moments of real serendipity. A page opens to a random word that inspires the day. A friend reaches out at just the right moment. An opportunity emerges and the body tingles with a clear “YES!”.Of course, we’ve all ignored or rejected such calls as well. The chance or the clue passes us by and we retreat back to regular life and wonder what could have been. This workshop is designed to illuminate a sense of wonder, getting into playful presence and call you back to flow. We’ll likely use exercises that are completely new to you and some that are more familiar–but will get a refreshed and vitalizing twist.Do you feel a YES? Welcome!

Every year the Playfair organization presents more than 400 large-scale “Play Community” team-building experiences for as many as 5,000 joyful participants at a time.Play is a powerful tool for building community. At our annual Playfair Staff Retreat, I always remind the assembled facilitators that before you can genuinely lead a thriving play community experience, you need to be deeply anchored in a feeling of “belonging” to a supportive community yourself. This workshop is designed to provide exactly that kind of “connecting” and “belonging” community experience for the AIN participants.This is a totally interactive workshop. The games and activities will create a base of support and connection for the players to draw upon in designing their own community-building and team-building presentations as they navigate their own playful future. Come prepared to have some serious fun!

How is improv supporting or hindering our ability to engage effectively with the current issues of the world?  Do our efforts support connection in the absence of agreement?  In addition to the array of games and teambuilding exercises that we adapt and apply broadly, this session is specifically interested in how the art of improvisation can be meaningfully applied to situations and issues without easy answers: climate change, war and conflict, equality, polarization in politics, etc.  This session will invite participants to reflect on how they have seen divisiveness emerge within their respective contexts.  We’ll utilize interactive activities to build connection and stimulate discussion on how applied improvisation can bring about transformatively different outcomes in these case examples.  Ultimately, we hope this session can reflect a broader call for our community to continue leaning into the messier work of conflict, systemic change, and justice.

This workshop will focus on how to leverage applied improvisation as a tool for female empowerment; more specifically, to overcome barriers towards achieving long-term success in the work environment. Although women are advancing in the workplace more than ever before, the higher they get up the career ladder, the fewer make it to, or stay at the top. And even when they achieve their desired career goals, women still face many challenges, both internal and external. In some cases, this leads to some stepping down of their own volition- despite being chosen, promoted or supported through policies and/or championed by mentors or managers. Though some solutions of course require more large-scale societal change, some barriers come from learned behavioural patterns and mindsets. With that in mind, how can Applied improvisation promote long term success for women?  Can we even create a future paradigm shift for women in the workplace by using Applied Improvisation?Marta Borges and Kelly Agathos are professional actresses, coaches and facilitators, as well as pioneers of improvisational theatre in their respective countries.  Both were members of Project Eve, a pan-european collective of female improvisers dedicated to exploring the topic of gender, on and off stage. After collaborating on applied improvisation trainings that specifically looked at empowering women, they want to give back to the AIN community to recount their experience, share their insights and foster a larger discussion on this important topic.This workshop will start by Kelly and Marta sharing their discoveries from the work they have done within this topic. They will then invite the participants to share their experiences and open the discussion on how to empower women in their career aspirations and achieve a more inclusive workplace culture - one that they want to remain in. Bring your questions, ideas and experiences to the table. Let’s brainstorm on how present and future generations of women can become agents for change through applied improvisation!

What are the elements of a good game? How do you choose the right activity at the right time? How do you make an activity feel safe and fun for everyone? In our rapidly changing world, learning games that already exist might not be enough. We need to be prepared to make up new ones. Good games are like good stories - there's an invisible structure that you can count on. We know with a story, there's a beginning, a middle, and an end. With a game - what IS that invisible structure? Come learn J.W. James' four structural elements of game creation: The Purpose/Goal, the Objective, the Mechanics, and the Metaphor. We will also explore how to leverage the natural arc of group development to create the conditions for safety, equity, positive growth and creativity. Once you know these elements, you'll be able to create activities that fit the needs of any group. Then we will make up some games! And play them! We will conclude with a debrief of our creations and a possibility to offer them to the wider conference during Open Space.

This year LinkedIn named “Adaptability” as the fastest growing in-demand workplace skill. Understandably, many AI practitioners are resourced to help develop adaptability within organizations, but it’s difficult to improve something you can’t measure. So, how might AI practitioners do this? Created in collaboration with scientists, business leaders and psychologists, the Adaptability Quotient is a framework for understanding and measuring individual and team adaptability intelligence (or AQ). This session will introduce the concept of AQ, offer participants a practical framework for understanding the complexities of adaptability, and explore how this tool can be used by AI practitioners to better serve their clients with data at individual and organizational level.

How do we tune to the future of consent-based practices when the work we do is unscripted and unrehearsed?  This interactive workshop will briefly share the basics of intimacy/consent training used in more traditional applications and performance (much of which is choreographed and rehearsed) then go beyond scripted work to adapt that consent based ideology to ensemble and improvisational groups when no one knows what will come next. Using techniques that build on the latest ideas that challenge more traditional power structures in performance, this workshop aims to empower participants with information and techniques that can make any ensemble that uses improvisation less awkward, more truthful and infused with trust and consent.

I am from the Czech Republic. So I go for a beer. Discuss things. It doesn't leave me cold when my IT buddies talk about AI actually building relationships. They learn with every interaction. It tells us what we want to hear or read. It gets better and better.I see a trap in that. I fear that we will become even more captive to mobile phones. (Not to mention the kids.) Feeling unhappy? There is AI-chat. It is easier to chat with artificial intelligence than with humans. I think the result will be even more lonely people. We just might not see it right away. Research clearly shows that people who feel lonely get sick more and die earlier. It is nothing less than life. And also belonging or cooperation.I think applied improvisation is great in that it has many tools to connect people, to improve trust in each other, to improve the quality of relationships.I invite you to a workshop where we will look at what interpersonal relationships actually are. I will offer you several techniques for creating a safe environment, which I believe is the basis for people to meet at all.

Have you noticed an increase in anxiety around you? Or maybe even within yourself.  When you follow the news or your social media feed it seems like the future for humanity is bleek and the rise of anxiety levels makes complete sense. However being anxious about the future isn't helping us deal with it's challenges effectively, and ignoring, suppressing or fighting it doesn't help either.  All that is left is to make friends with it and turn it into an ally so we can  access its power and face the uncertain future with courage.  In this workshop you'll be taken through an embodied experience in which you will get to know your triggered anxious self better, learn from it and shift your relationship with it, so that next time you are in a situation that would normally derail you, you can stay in your power and respond effectively.

Over the past two years, my wife and I have been diligently establishing an improv company in Zaragoza, Spain. Upon my initial relocation, my proficiency in Spanish was limited. However, since then, I have not only performed in both English and Spanish but also taught English to adults and children through Applied Improvisation techniques. This report encapsulates our journey and showcases a workshop featuring games tailored to this unique context. Throughout the workshop, participants will actively engage in these games, while the debriefing process will be meticulously directed toward language practice objectives. We offer this approach as a flexible framework, allowing for the adaptation of games to suit specific needs. Furthermore, we will explore how improv serves as a catalyst for language acquisition across diverse learner backgrounds, including native speakers. Indeed, improvisation emerges as an expressive art form that fosters profound language exploration.

Future is at our doorstep. We are overhelmed by (digital) input and asked for a lot of (perfect) results. Western society that is focussed on indivuality; polarisation and duality pulls us away from eachother. More and more people feel scared and depressed. Do we face this future on our own? When we are stressed or overwhelmed - we often choose to pull back, isolate.We tend to disconnect. This is common behaviour, to protect ourselves when we feel vulnerable. In this workshop we experiment with improv-exercises that pushes you to stay connected to eachother. To overcome our impuls to pull back and actually find eachother. Can we teach ourselves to stay connected, during chaos or anxiety? And face the future together?

For all it takes to be present, moments of disconnect happen. There is a silent partner that’s with us every single moment and we hardly know them. What does it mean to be in touch with our body? To listen to our body’s signals and accept its offer? As we improvise our lives, how can we be a more present, loving partner to the one who is with us 24/7? This session is for anyone with a body, who wants to feel more connected with it. Inspired by journeys from surgical suite to stage and lessons learned along the way, we’ll explore the offer of our bodies as collaborative partners. Lean into your curiosity, spend a spacious moment to be present in and with your body. Play and ponder simple experiences to foster awareness, connection, and appreciation. You might even find something that’ll make your body say, “Ahhhh, thanks for noticing me!”

No matter where people are on the ‘Status Pecking Order’, everyone is aiming to get what they want; however, people often lack the awareness of the how to play the Status Game. This workshop focuses on revealing how ‘status’ is embedded in all communication exchanges, and how people can better-use Status Games in a playful safe way in order to proactively achieve their goals. As everyone plays many roles in their lives, based on archetypes embedded into their character, it is important that people recognize whether they are low-, or high-status players in these roles. From this base-of-operations, participants explore how they use physical and verbal status statements in order to meet their objectives. Acting techniques associated with the Stanislavski Method offer insight into how everyone combines ‘active verbs’ into their status interactions in order to empower the status shifts at play.

Many of us often get a job offer that is bigger than we can comfortably manage.  When that happens we can turn down the job, run ourselves thin trying to do everything or become an employer and manager.   Some of us set up legal business entities that require time and money. Many of us work as solo practitioners and have to do everything alone: business development, instructional design, delivery, marketing, billing and so on. And at the end of the day the victory party is … a party of one.  Improvisation is at its core a collaborative form…how do we collaborate/partner and create bigger impact and bigger post-workshop celebrations?

The transformational power of Applied Improv emerges through the debrief of the experience. Applied Improv works so well because decisions made in Improv games have no negative real-world consequences. Therefore, it's safe for audience members to reveal their true selves when describing how they play. Through the playing of the games, you get the chance to use the experiential learning of the audience to manifest your learning points. During debriefs, players mull over the game experience, assess what went well and what might be a way to enable future success. Reflections can help individuals understand how they make choices, and also help  groups gain deeper understanding of the drivers of the group culture.You’ll leave this fun & personally insightful session with an understanding of how, when and why to debrief any activity in any situation AND at least 10 specific prompts for debriefing the beginning, middle and end of your sessions.

Applied improvisation is a training approach that is needed now, more than ever. Empathy, the ability to relate to another’s situation emotionally and vicariously, is crucial tuning for the future. Because an experiential approach to learning allows participants to gain embodied knowledge, to identify useful behaviors and to practice skills related to positive interpersonal communication, it is an invaluable tool for cultivating empathy.In this workshop we will first experience a series of activities that build empathy by encouraging listening, understanding, and perspective taking.We will debrief the experience by discussing how each activity provides a different opportunity for seeing the situation from another’s point of view, for changing perspectives, and for recognizing differences. We will conclude by applying our new understanding to the design of a new game with a learning goal of building empathy.

In this workshop, we will explore the concept of sharing physical space and the implications it holds. When we share a space, we inevitably exchange energy, emotions, and various interactions occur within the team dynamics and among individuals.As our reliance on online work increases, it becomes crucial to acknowledge the additional dynamics present when we gather in person. Being mindful of these dynamics allows us to effectively facilitate spaces where energy flows optimally, enhancing the team's performance and cohesion.Throughout the workshop, we will engage in specific exercises derived from The Six Viewpoints, a framework initially developed by Mary Overlie for dancers and actors to foster a more inclusive approach to artistic expression. Nathalie has been incorporating these techniques into her applied improvisation work for over 20 years and is eager to share some of her insights.
