2019 AIN World Conference at Stony Brook

Emotional connection, the ability to sense and understand one another, and mental agility, are essential to effective communication especially in today's often intense and demanding social environments. There are remarkable tools for fine-tuning these skills available through Applied Improvisation, which build upon our existing toolkit. This workshop will explore the intersection of head and heart (logic and empathy) to reduce confusion, friction, misunderstanding, and promote empathy and understanding.

Attendees will:
Understand the intersection of empathy and logic in communicating their ideas and information to others
Learn techniques that strengthen the capacity to see and hear others more clearly
Learn techniques that enhance understanding between people and can be deployed in practice with clients and students
