In her improv workshop, Joanne Stuart was able to elevate the energy and creativity of the group instantly, by creating a safe space to experiment with performance. Even the more reserved student in class bought in to her approach and was left smiling and more comfortable speaking in public as a result of her participation. My goal in inviting Ms. Stuart into my communications classes was to give my students some practical new skills they could bring to their presentations to reduce “stage fright” and increase audience interest. Days after the workshop, they were still thanking me for the experience. In their final presentations of the course, the students were much more comfortable at the front of the class. The humour and imagination they demonstrated can absolutely be attributed to the inspirational improv workshop they’d attended. Thanks Joanne – the young adults who attended your workshop learned valuable communications skills they will take forward into the workplace. They’re lessons everyone could benefit from. Fabulous!
