Brains, Bodies and Becoming: There's More to the Science of Improv Than You Think

Part of the journey for us as Applied Improvisers is to explore the breadth of scientific thinking and research that both informs and is informed by our collective practice. Brain research is part of that exciting exploration; as well as a developing science in psychology, sometimes called the psychology of becoming and performative psychology. This talk (or workshop) will discuss the significance (and imperative) of our emerging field of Applied Improvisation to expand our current understanding of what play, improv and performance means/is for the human sciences, and therefore give us new ways/paradigms to think about, understand, and practice our collective humanity.
