Improv Games for Connection
In this video, Aspen Webster, LMSW explains how we can direct principles of improv theater toward mental health. Improv is an art form that encourages us to be in the moment and to embrace risk. Improv encourages us to play and to engage with one another through supportive, authentic connection. In this way, improv can help us be more mindful and can help build connections that make us feel more regulated and safe. Aspen shows us three improv games that we can play with our friends and family - at home or virtually - to help us embrace joy and play!
Improv can help us enjoy the moment
Have you ever felt that time flew by and you barely noticed because you were wrapped up in thought? Usually when that happens, we are preoccupied with worry, doubt, or regret.
Improv and other expressive art therapies can help us get out of our head and into the moment where we can learn to enjoy life more fully. Improv can help us to take risks, to connect with others, and to enjoy being playful.
