IMPROV FOR Brain Health

We are proud to be partnered with the BC Brain Wellness Program to offer online Improv courses focused on health, wellness, and joy. 


Tightrope Impro Theatre teachers will lead participants through improvisation exercises to foster the skills of presence, listening, spontaneity, teamwork and co-creation. This workshop series will help you cope with anxiety, fear and overthinking by releasing expectations and being in the moment. The series will encourage you to discover the joy in collaborating with others and to apply this approach to overcome isolation and the discouraging effects of living with compromised brain health.


The course series will be delivered over zoom.
