Soft skills and leadership training

FIZ

FIZ is an interactive curriculum designed for soft skills, emotional intelligence, and leadership development, an approach that puts the principles and techniques of improvisational theater to work in non-theatrical venues such as corporations, academic institutions, organizations, and professional groups.

Through participating in improv and theater activities, exercises and games, participants develop vital professional skills. It is a part of the growing international wave of nontraditional, arts-based educational programs helping people become better at—and happier with—what they do and how they do it.

“I joined Actors Improv Theater in 1989 and began teaching improv in the early 90s. I was delighted to find my students were using what they learned in class not just on stage but also to good effect in their professional and personal lives. So I developed an Applied Improv curriculum.”

Professor Greg Hohn, FIZ Program Director

The Man with the Burnt Face

Dad was watching Lon Chaney in The Phantom of the Opera, the black-and-white 1925 film, on our black-and-white 1965 TV. This was not a family evening, just Dad relaxing with a Salem menthol or two after supper and a hard day’s work. I watched a little bit of the movie...
