If you're human, you've most likely experienced anxiety in some form. For many of us however, anxiety goes further than its evolutionary intention to keep us safe, and we find ourselves feeling a range of really cruddy emotions. Life becomes difficult, and so does human connection. Some of us feel an ongoing underlying tension, and others of us experience spikes of fear or panic. The great news is, we don't need to feel hostage to difficult thoughts and emotions. This one-hour seminar explores the life lessons of improvisation and creative flow, and how the stories we tell ourselves can create unnecessary suffering. In the same way a performing improviser learns to navigate through internal judgement, fear and expectation in front of an audience, you can navigate through those same obstacles in your everyday life.
This seminar is lead by Chris Dinger who is SAK's Executive Director, an improv teacher and a professional performer. Chris is not a mental health professional. This seminar draws on his personal experience with anxiety, his 20+ years of performance experience, 10+ years experience teaching improvisation, and more recently, developing and leading SAK's Improv for Anxiety program.
What you can expect: This will be a fun, lightly interactive seminar with an improv demonstration at the beginning and a talkback at the end. This is not an improv class, so you won't be asked to participate in any way that would make you uncomfortable. What's more... this is free! So come, bring a friend or family member and enjoy!
