Hey, I know. Getting your improv students to move 🤸♀️ and not stand & talk all the time is hard.
But... getting your improv students to move in an ONLINE class? Even harder. 😳
Maybe you don't even know which exercises would work for that.
🚒 Let me help you out! 🚒
I have tips for more movement in your classes. Some are big and ridiculous. Some are small and easy.
DID YOU ENJOY THIS?
You can now join me in a 9-week course for improv teachers: Teaching Improv With Confidence. 💙

How do I know if students are liking my class?
Whether you are a beginning teacher, or already more advanced, it can be difficult to know: are my students even liking this?
I am sharing 3 memories from my teaching career (all the way back to 2008!) of me not being sure whether students were liking it. And how I discovered that they did.

How I helped these 3 improvisers when they said ‘I have nothing to teach'
In this lesson I will share 3 examples of improvisers thinking ‘I have nothing to teach…’ and what I have told them.
These 3 reasons were mentioned:
I am not a full-time improviser.
I am not as funny/fast/loud. I always play [something else].
I am not good at one thing. I am a bit of everything.
Let me explain to you how your 'weakness' is your superpower.
I have a blog full of exercises, tips and free downloads for improvisers and improv teachers: www.lauradoorneweerd.com/blog
