Upcoming 2026 Sep improv training for therapists with Sera Jorgensen
Mirroring
Two participants face each other. One person moves slowly while the other mirrors their movements, as though looking into a mirror. Participants can incorporate facial expressions, posture, and emotional energy.
Areas of development: nonverbal awareness, attunement, and emotional sensitivity.
Repetition (Meisner)
Two participants face each other and repeat a simple observation about one another, such as, “You’re smiling.” / “I’m smiling.” They continue repeating the exchange while allowing their tone, facial expressions, and emotions to change naturally, and eventually offer new observations.
Areas of development: presence, active listening, emotional attunement, and responsiveness to subtle changes.
Yes, And...
Participants build a scene by accepting and adding to what the other person offers. Instead of rejecting or redirecting an idea, each response begins with “Yes, and…” and contributes something new.
Areas of development: acceptance, collaboration, flexibility, and the ability to stay with another's perspective.
Freeze Tag
Two or more participants improvise a scene while the others watch. At any point, someone can call “Freeze!” and the participants immediately stop. The person who called "Freeze!" replaces one of the participants, adopts their position, and begins a new scene from that moment. This could be adapted as a counselling role-play.
Areas of development: considering alternatives and observing new ideas/offerings.
