Improve4Health Professionals Workshop: Experience the Power of Spontaneity
The only way to truly understand the power of improv is to experience it yourself!
Please join the Department of Humanities and the Woodward Center at Penn State College of Medicine , Jan. 19, 2022, at noon, via zoom, for a 90-minute Improv4Health Professionals Workshop with Amy Zelenski, PhD. This workshop will engage us in several improv activities based on the work of Viola Spolin and adapted for health professionals. Together we will create an environment of non-judgment so we can all discover a few new ways of communicating and connecting with others. Please join us for a fun departure from the usual workday!
