I've posted plenty of reasons to take an improv class. It will make you happier and smarter, improve your friendships, make you think fast, which will improve your mood, inspire other adventures, and can even be your way to love people. Here's another one, play has spillover effects on your learning:
Playfulness was associated with better academic performance (i.e., better grades in an exam). Also, students who described themselves as playful were more likely to do the extra reading that went beyond what was needed to pass the exam. This can be seen as first evidence of a positive relation between playfulness in adults and academic achievement.
So if you are interested in learning, and if you're reading this blog I know you are, then take my upcoming Improv 101 class. For a one-time-only deal for Bottlenecked Blog readers, we are willing to lower the price from $195 to the low low price of $100. Here's the class description:
IMPROV 101 explores the basics of comedy improvisation: team-building, trust, speed, status, active listening, and agreement. Students learn to be fearless and have fun on stage using the DSI approach to improv comedy.
No comedy or theater experience necessary.
Free admission to shows while enrolled. Class runs for 2 1/2 hours each week with optional office hours after class.
It starts tomorrow. If you're interested email me or sign up online and pay the discounted price when you arrive.
Enticing, H, but I have to pass this time.
