We one of only two studios in Portland that specialize in training both performers and NON-performers. We do this by using established exercises and games from the worlds of theater, improvisation, & psychology. For performers, we anchor our work in creating organic, real connections on the stage during our improv classes in Portland. For corporate clients, we train managers, directors, and teams to be better communicators and creative collaborators using applied improvisation or process-oriented improv. We also provide coaching for Founders, CEOs, and Directors who make public appearances on stage and TV. We’ve trained staff at Nike, Intel, Tektronix, Applied Materials, Comcast, PSU, and other local Stumptown businesses.
