Why is Improv so great?
This is one of those eternal questions, like "What is the meaning of life?" or "What came first; the chicken or the egg?" or "Who let the dogs out?" but the real answers come when you look at the difference that improv makes in so many peoples' lives. It help teenagers make friends, have fun, learn sweet teamwork skills and life lessons on how to think on your feet and follow your gut instincts.
Improv can even help some teenage folk deal with hard times that come along with all those teenage moments. Just talk to anyone who has played improv, and they'll tell you, "It's clearly, clearly sick." |
