Ever feel like you’re stuck in your head, overthinking your next move? We’ve all been there.

At Change Through Play, we believe the best way to get out of your head is to get into the room. This May, we’re hosting an Open House; a low-pressure, high-fun demo class designed specifically for people who have never done improv before.

Together, we'll explore introductory improv techniques, including:
👂🏼 New ways of listening: Tuning in to what’s actually being said (and what isn't).
📚 Telling spontaneous stories with others: Building something from scratch, together.
👣 Thinking on our feet & trusting our instincts: Learning to act before you over-analyze.
👥 Quickly collaborating with others: Finding the "Yes, And" in every interaction.
👀 Identifying & using non-verbal communication: Understanding the power of what your body language is saying.

Come see how "play" can change your perspective. It’s a massively discounted rate for one night only, no commitment, just a chance to try something new!
