Tired of freezing up when an interviewer asks an unexpected question? Nervous about selling yourself without sounding rehearsed? This dynamic workshop uses improv techniques to help you think on your feet, respond authentically, and walk into any interview with genuine confidence.
In Improv with Improv, you’ll discover that the same skills that make great improvisers—active listening, spontaneity, adaptability, and building on ideas—are exactly what interviewers are looking for. Through interactive exercises and low-pressure games, you’ll learn to trust your instincts, embrace uncertainty, and turn interview anxiety into engaged conversation.
What You’ll Learn
Think faster under pressure – Develop the ability to respond thoughtfully to curveball questions without panicking
Listen actively and respond authentically – Move beyond memorized answers to create genuine connections with interviewers
Embrace mistakes with grace – Learn the “”Yes, and…”” mindset that turns stumbles into opportunities
Read the room – Pick up on verbal and nonverbal cues to adjust your approach in real-time
Project confidence naturally – Use body language, voice, and presence to convey competence without faking it
What to Expect
This is a hands-on, interactive workshop where you’ll be up and moving. Through improv games adapted for interview scenarios, you’ll practice:
Responding to unexpected questions with clarity and composure
Building compelling narratives about your experience on the spot
Recovering gracefully when you don’t know the answer
Making strong impressions through authentic engagement
Supporting yourself and others in a collaborative learning environment
Just bring your willingness to play, take creative risks, and step outside your comfort zone in a supportive space.
