It’s human-centered, iterative, and collaborative. The methodology leads you to compelling solutions for an undefined and unstructured world.Improv is short for ‘improvised theatre’. Unlike traditional, scripted theatre, scripts are not memorised or plays rehearsed; instead, the audience’s input is relied on to inspire stories & sketches. The plot, characters & dialogue of the scenes created are made up in the moment. Nothing exists until it’s made real.Improv and Design Thinking are complementary ways of thinking to help you move forward. They both place humans at the centre, whether through empathetic user research or telling stories that matter.CONTENT3 HoursInteractive Workshop (20% lecture, 80% activities)$50 / pax (20 participants)NOTE: This is NOT an introduction to Design Thinking methods or tools, it’s a session on how we can use Improv techniques to increase effectiveness of what you already know!A VERY brief intro Design ThinkingWhy Design Thinking?Principles of Design ThinkingWhat is improv?
