Diversity
Diversity is a category of applied improvisation activities that build awareness and appreciation of diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and communication styles through direct improvisational interaction. The activities use role-play, perspective-taking, and collaborative exercises to give participants embodied experience of different viewpoints and communication norms, making diversity concepts concrete and personally felt rather than abstract.
Maintain the Improv Culture
Maintain the Improv Culture is an applied improv exercise in which participants practice identifying and responding to moments when the core principles of improv culture -- agreement, support, mutual listening, and collaborative generosity -- are drifting in a group setting. The exercise trains organizational facilitators and team leaders to recognize when a group's collaborative norms are eroding and to intervene or remodel the desired culture through action rather than declaration.
Adaptability
Exercises specifically designed to practice adapting to rapidly changing circumstances and unexpected developments.
