My favorite rule in improv is that there are no mistakes. In fact, when mistakes do happen, they can actually be gifts in our scenes. How can we transform perceptions about how we recover from mistakes in our everyday lives? This workshop will encourage participants to share mistakes and challenges they've experienced in their lives and work. In addition, participants will have an opportunity to release, reframe and rejoice in our collective experiences or setbacks. Please think of at least one example you'd feel comfortable sharing in our session in order to reframe your thinking of how this challenge can actually be used as a gift to help you grow.
Delmar Dualeh read the book The Artist’s Way in the summer of 2021. This seemingly simple act unearthed his boundless creativity and began an unexpected journey into performing. On a whim, Delmar signed up for an improv class. In just a few short months while taking his improv courses, Delmar realized how often he was experiencing joy, awe, and flow. In typical Delmar style, he completed all the available improv levels at Magnet Theater, joining and performing with a number of indie teams. He has hosted and produced special themed improv shows including The Mingle at the Magnet (speed dating show) and several all-Black improv shows throughout New York City. When he isn’t improvising, he’s working as an Academic Counselor and Adjunct Instructor at John Jay College, CUNY in the SEEK Department.
This workshop will be held virtually on Zoom, and participants will receive the Zoom information in a post-purchase message sent via email.
