I started doing improv because I wanted to explore the more creative side of myself, something I was finding lacking in my daily job. So, after three years of studying and practicing improv techniques, I can say that they made an even more positive change in my life than I was expecting. This experience made me more spontaneous, accepting of myself and just a happier person in general.

The way Rahel teaches improv is special and focuses on the safety of the space and trust between participants. This highlights the therapeutic aspects of this practice, there is no stress on trying to do something you won’t be ready for yet. I recommend it for everybody, even if you don’t think of yourself as a creative person, improv can make a serious difference in your life!

The improv theater experience has given me a huge dose of skills that I use in everyday and professional life. It has also strengthened my understanding of myself as a person, a performer, and a team member. For me, the values of improv and the people who do it have been a much-needed vitamin for my mental health, without which I can hardly live. Rahel is inspiring, calm, and supportive both as a teacher and as a person. Her vision of improv theater is enriching and more than just a humorous interlude once a week.
