History

Established in 2005.

InsideOut Improv is a powerful tool for personal and social transformation. Language, voice and movement are equally valued for their abilty to express and communicate meaning. The focus is on being fully present, because HOW you do something usually conveys more than what you are doing. The skills taught in the classes — listening and responding, empathy, spontaneity, and a widened expressive range are just as valuable in everyday life as they are in the studio.
