MNprov workshops offer Fun, Safe, Authentic Learning
Students practice life skills while having fun.
Teachers learn to use applied improvisation strategies to support students’ social emotional learning and mental wellness.
Using Improv Theatre as an Engine for Laughter and Growth
Who says you can’t laugh and learn at the same time?
MNprov’s improvisational play exercises and curriculum are helping students to connect, communicate, embrace life and develop new ways to grow. And giving teachers a new classroom tool.
A Promise to Improve Learning…While Laughing
MNprov uses improv with students in elementary grades to adulthood. What’s silly and fun can also be profound! Our safe and creative educational play has helped develop communication and learning skills among diverse students—social emotional learning that also is the foundation for mental wellness.
