Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What do you mean about how improv interrupts a freeze response?

A: A freeze response is a sign of nervous system overwhelm. If you also dissociate, then it is a sign you are in a shock response where too many stimuli come at once and the brain can't process; this freezes the motoring response of the body. Improvisation skills can help you release freeze and learn how to take action under pressure. 

Q: How long can I access this material for study?

A: You have a full year so you can revisit the material as much as you need to. You may want to practice different parts of this course to really remember the skills shared.
