“Improv techniques from the theatre can give researchers tools to make their research more clear, vivid, and meaningful." Alan Alda (adapted)
This workshop uses improvisation techniques developed in the theatre - as well as those developed in collaboration with the Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science at Stony Brook University - to help those who need to communicate become more spontaneous, direct, personal and responsive. It aims to help connect communicators and audiences, including professional colleagues, students, and public audiences.
