Theatrical games support goals in listening, honoring other viewpoints, celebrating mistakes, practicing presentation skills, confidently and freely expressing ideas and impulses, and collective creativity. Improv practice leads to a more positive and confident mindset regarding interpersonal communication for both work and life.
