3:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Abstract

Human beings need to create. It is as vital as eating or breathing; since through the creative process, we can connect with ourselves, other individuals and our environment. Improvisation, as an artistic expression technique, promotes the construction of communication channels, and makes us aware of how we interact. Through art, we communicate: ideas, beliefs and experiences. Among the elements that stand out, with the use of improvisation technique, are: not judging, acceptance, connecting with others and the environment, being present (here and now), establishing relationships, providing support, collaboration , and creation of stories. Promotes the ability to create and accept proposals, adaptation to changes and incorporation of ideas. The theme of the workshop proposes to foster creativity, using the improvisation technique, to build tools that support solidarity through: affirmative communication, liaison, inclusion, the connection between individuals and their communities. It is proposed to use basic principles of improvisation, which encourage the development of skills such as: creation, expression, play, storytelling, observation, listening, the ability to build and accept proposals. The goal is for participants to explore the interdisciplinary nature, between psychology and improvisation through practical exercises, which in turn enable them generate contributions, establish a collaborative commitment to their communities, promote and sustain solidarities. The presentation of the workshop includes an introduction and guidance on concepts. Second, basic fundamentals of improvisation and its link with psychology. Third, the practical part, where improvisation exercises will be conducted aimed at allowing participants to: create, develop stories, foster connections, establish collaborative agreements, and play, as a learning tool.
