 IMPROVPOSSIBLE: EMBRACING LIFE'S POSSIBILITIES THROUGH THE POWER OF "YES AND"
Join Joanne Brokaw for this six-week class exploring how the principles of improvisation can be applied to your everyday life.

Take part in the monthly Exquisite Collaboration Project! This process is meant to remind us that we're not always meant to carry creative burdens alone. Even when we work with total strangers, if we all just contribute our part the end result will be something exquisitely beautiful - even if (especially if) it's nothing we would have thought to create on our own. You can find past poems, complete instructions, and this month's prompt here. ************************* RECHARGE YOUR CREATIVITY VIRTUAL WORKSHOPS 2021 Join me for an informal time of online writing sprints, prompts, and creative reflection designed to break through writer's block and recharge your creativity. These are stand alone workshops; prompts and themes change with each workshop, so even if you've attended before, you'll find something new every time. While there will be opportunities for participants to share what they write, it is not required. This is a low key, informal workshop with an emphasis on writing and reflecting. Monday, April 12, 2021 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM Eastern US time We'll be exploring creative identity and "imposter syndrome" Monday, May 10, 2021 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM Eastern US time Our special guest will be improvisor, author, and hypnotherapist Sara D. Moore, who will be talking about using hypnosis to spark creativity, release fears, and let go of our inner critic. ** Click HERE to register ** (Workshops times are Eastern US.
