Why use improv exercises for team building?
• Many improv exercises were designed to help people work together in extraordinary ways; • Unlike in classic ropes courses, there is no physical risk to participants; • Like classic ropes courses, there is a high level of risk — emotional risk. After all, studies show that people are more afraid of getting up in front of large crowds than they are afraid of death! Yet our exercises get participants to feel so comfortable so quickly that their self-esteem increases from having overcome their initial fears; • Typical team building exercises can only be played once, because once you “know” their solutions, the exercises have less value. Our exercises can be repeated over and over again. There are no solutions; just practice and awareness that helps participants gain solid team player skills. The design of a Creative Advantage team building event always starts with thoroughly defining the needs and issues of the team. Activities are then designed to fit your exact needs.
