ENGL 399BW ST: Improv for Professional Writers
This course uses improvisational theater techniques and theories to explore professional communication. Students develop their ability to read and respond to workplace writing contexts through the study of improv. Not only will we focus on writing, but we'll also emphasize listening, speaking, and roleplaying to engage different professional audiences. This is not an acting class, but it is highly participatory. Our discussions of improv and professional writing will also have us participating in improv exercises and activities in class, such as "Yes, and," "Mind Meld," and others.
