Some final reflections….

Hello Class Members,
I want to say again how much I enjoyed getting to know each of you and collaborating together during our course. I appreciated the generosity of your responses to the class in our closing circle last night as well as your acknowledgment of each other in helping to create a safe learning environment that supported growth and risk taking. From the very first session, there was a palpable spirit of openness in the room and a commitment to one of the central tenets of improvisation - "making the other person look good."

Your monologues over the past 2 weeks were moving, honest, engaging, and inspiring. We had many opportunities to witness the reliable power of trusting oneself as well as the moment when we are faced with an unexpected offer.

Enjoy your holidays and semester break. And keep in touch!

warmly,
Daena
