All The World's a Stage:
Learn To Make It Yours
ImprovWorks Berlin has empowered thousands of students to unleash their inner creativity through our performing arts classes. Our unique approach focuses on psychological safety as a prerequisite for creative freedom. We also help teams become more productive by bonding together in safety and joy.
Improv Comedy is the art of spontaneously creating hilarious situations, memorable characters and moving stories collaboratively, in real time, without a script. Not only is it funny, it fosters deep listening, presence, spontaneity and self-confidence.
The skills and processes of improvisation are also used in business as a way to develop better communication, creative problem solving, and supportive team-work.
