Free workshop: Join us Thursday, July 30th at 1:30pm
Are you an improv coach or looking to become one? An arts teacher? A teacher in general? Someone who works with groups? In charge of picking icebreakers for the company retreat? Have you ever led a game with a group of people that was just a dud and you couldnt figure out why? Do you want to get better at leading games and activities?
Have we got the workshop for you!
Mark your calendars for Thursday, July 30th from 1:30-3:30pm at the Magnet Training Center for Pick the Perfect Warm-Up: The Social Group Work Theory Behind Improv.
This interactive workshop will explain social group work theory and how it can be used in different contexts, and teach you how to choose and use improv games purposefully for the groups you're working with. Learn the social science behind why a game might bomb in one group but do well in another, what failed games can really teach you, and how to best pick activities that allow groups to grow.
This is a FREE workshop designed and led by experienced social workers, teaching artists, and the teenagers of the Life Lines Performing Arts Troupe and is open to ANYONE interested in this topic, no previous experience required!
To RSVP please e-mail Caitlin Steitzer, MSW at caitlinsteitzer.cfl@gmail.com
