| In this experiential workshop, we will practice some individual and group exercises using improv theater games. Bringing theater arts and using the body, not just the analytical methods that use the mind, will directly address the conference theme of well being. The exercises are designed to help explore the interfaces between body and mind, individual and group, and acting-out and reflection. Improvisation has been linked to creativity (Fischer & Amabile, 2009) and improvisational theater has been used to describe organizational strategy (Kanter, 2001, 2010). These exercises will offer an opportunity for individuals to experience group dynamics in a manner that will enhance their understanding of various concepts that we teach in management, for example, creativity, leadership, followership, group-dynamics, embedding and organizing. No prior improv experience required. A willingness to participate is essential. A similar workshop last year was highly successful, so we will limit the number of participants to keep it manageable. |
