It is so important to always be challenging yourself and thinking outside the box– that is why we are excited to have KC Improv Company joining the Institute for Cultural Entrepreneurship!

By studying and practicing improvisation, they have found ways to develop and improve specific skills that organizations would like to improve, but don’t always know how. They lead team-building and other training sessions that are designed to have fun, unleash creativity and look at institutional challenges in new ways!

See you in July KC Improv Company!
