Improv For Life

This is some of the feedback I've gotten from students who have taken Improv for Life classes I taught at the BCAE, as well as performance-oriented improv classes I've taught at Improv Boston.

Tom, 28, "From the very first class, I started picking up some great skills and practices to apply to my life.  And it was a blast, too, so I was always looking forward to the next class."

Heidi, 32, Executive Assistant, "I cannot recommend working with Erik enough.  I am honored to have done so myself.  He really gets invested in his students and truly guides them in a way that is inspiring.  If you take this class with him – the hours will fly by and you will walk out – as I did after seeing him perform – exhilarated.  But not only that – you will be amazed at yourself!"

Claire, 45, Performer, "Because of Erik's devotion to the craft and commitment to his students, I now enjoy a high level of performance, creativity and spontaneity, which have been instrumental in preparing me for performing on stages in New York City."

Nicole, 30, Medical Student, "Improv For Life was a fantastic class. I really wish that I had had an opportunity to have taken it earlier in my life. It allowed me to explore different and uninhibited ways of being myself without negative consequences. The environment was supportive and the games were fun! The class helped me be more comfortable in my own skin. Thanks for a great experience!"

Andy, 43, Professor of Marketing, "It was through Erik's guidance that I realized that improv was more than just fun for me, it was more than a hobby that I could do on weekends, but something that actually made me better at what I did for a living. He helped me see that improv techniques apply to many different aspects of life, and I became a better teacher for it."

Leora, Producer, "Erik possesses a combination of an innate understanding of human nature and compassion for his fellow human beings. His observations of me and my castmates were right on target. He is a keen observer of the human condition and has a sharp eye for human foibles and good suggestions for how to adjust what might be obstacles to our becoming more at peace with ourselves. One major note that he gave me is something that I come back to again and again; in improv, spiritual practice and daily living. I am grateful for his insight."
