Testimonials:
"I was given the task of putting together a bullying prevention peer education program when I started the applied improvisation trainings at Lifestage. Bonding with peer educators through applied improv games empowers students to go out and apply what they know with the younger students in their school community. Applied Improvisation is the language of connection that makes students more resilient, empathic, confident. No better, more magical outcome can result from teaching the kids how to step out of their comfort zones utilizing applied improvisation games learned at Lifestage."
