Build confidence. Strengthen communication. Improve collaboration.
Welcome to Improv for Non-Improvisers! Improv comedy is an incredible tool for learning how to work together, listen, build on each other's ideas and gain confidence and public speaking skills. Unfortunately, most improv classes are aimed at actors who are already comfortable performing. Alison teaches improv that is not for actors. It's for everyone, including businesspeople looking to be more creative, expand their ways of thinking, and collaborate more effectively. Using the basics of comedy improvisation to encourage innovative thinking through adaptability and spontaneity, Alison can teach you how to communicate better with potential investors, new clients, your boss, and your peers. Improv comedy is one of the easiest and most effective team building activities! Plus, it's a lot of fun!
A typical workshop is for 5-20 people and runs two hours. Alison’s schedule as an actor and a screenwriter is extremely limited, so she books improv workshops on a limited basis. If you are interested, please contact her publicist Joanna Stone at JStonePub@gmail.com.
She has taught workshops at offices, retreats, film festivals, conferences, and more! See testimonials below.
TESTIMONIALS
"(The) class...was personally transformative for me. For the first time in a long time, I not only saw but felt how being fully present and committed can change the experiences I have in life for the better. It seems so silly and like something we all know to be true -- but feeling that change in me was pretty powerful. And it has changed how I live my life now."
-Amy Gillespie, Owner - The Campfire Experience
"I'm not a super shy person, but I'm not super BOLD either. I worry too much about what people think of me and I never want to look/ feel dumb. Improv was the perfect setting for me to open up and be brave, while having fun at the same time. Since the class (yes, only one), I feel less scared to say what I'm thinking, and I don't worry as much about what people think. Alison is such a joy to be around, so she really put me at ease right from the start."
-Michala Monroe, Owner - M Monroe Design
“Alison’s workshop is an incredible and approachable introduction to improv for even the most nervous, self-conscious participants (like me!). Not only does she break down people’s walls and get you out of your shell having fun, she ties the activities back to principles that shift how you think and interact with others. Anyone who works in a team-based environment would absolutely benefit from taking her workshop!”
-Reilly Carpenter, Product Manager - Capital One
"Alison's improv class was damn incredible. Her experience and enthusiasm pretty much instantly made the group feel comfortable. The (incredibly fun) experience itself was one you kind of can't describe, but want to share with everyone you know."
-Latham Arneson, former VP at Paramount Pictures
