Improvisatioin is an invaluable communication tool, for improvisation is collaborative. It is ensemble not solo. It is about listening, giving and receiving, being spontaneous and surprising ourself and others.
The improvisation and theatre games Denny teaches were developed by Viola Spolin a foremost educator in this field with whom Denny trained and performed professionally with The Spolin Players in Los Angeles.
Denny Dillon teaches improvisation to children, teens, adults and professional actors. She has her own improvisation company called IMPROV NATION that has performed to sold-out houses in the Hudson Valley. Improvisation can be experienced by anyone. All one needs is willingness and openess to take a dive without a net. And the best part is they are FUN. The sound of laughter in the improvisation workshops is music to one's soul.
