Improv makes things better

With two decades of improv exploration behind her and more to come, Laura wants to pass along the transformative tools and, yes, shenanigans that have reshaped her relationship to herself and the world.

Improv is deceptively simple: listen, respond. So why is it so challenging to get out of our judging minds and do just that in our interactions with one another? Improv helps us explore our perceptions of ourselves and others, aids our understanding of why different people do things in different ways, and builds empathy and communication in our various relationships.

You don’t even have to care about all that—it's also just really, really fun.

Whether you’re a team leader looking to enhance your team’s connection and productivity or an individual interested in fun and an exploration of your own possibilities, improv is right for you.

Laura began her improv training at BATS Improv in San Francisco in 2005 and never stopped. In addition to her work with ZipLine Improv she is also a company member at BATS, where there are shows every week.
