| Insight Improv Lab Working with Individuals |
Dear friends and colleagues,
Whew! It's been many months since I've written to you all, and it's been a very busy time.
My family and I moved from an apartment in Cambridge to a house in the next town over, Belmont. What with house hunting, buying, renovating, and selling our old place -- and work and family responsibilities -- something had to give, which was the Insight Improv book and Lab.
The time off gave me the opportunity to reflect and plan. I've revised the structure of Part IV of the book, condensing seven chapters to three to focus on what's most important. With the dust from the move settled, I have rolled up my sleeves and returned to writing.
Beginning with July's Lab, we will embark on Part IV of the Insight Improv book, which looks at applications in a variety of settings, including individual therapy and group workshops, theater processes, international programs and activities for children.
The first chapter, "Working with Individuals," details how Insight Improvisation can be applied in individual psychotherapy.
In my private practice, I use Insight Improv to foster growth and change by combining four different modalities: talk, meditation, drama therapy, and coaching.
In July's Lab, we'll demonstrate this approach by conducting sample one-to-one Insight Improv therapy sessions, with Q&A and discussion following each.
This will be a chance for individuals to experience a short sample Insight Improv session, and for the group to observe this approach to therapy in action, and reflect on it afterward.
As always, the Lab is free of charge and is a great opportunity to spend an afternoon with a group of warm, creative, like-minded individuals.
New day, time, and location: Please join us Saturday, July 9, from 2:00-5:30PM, at 22 Hartley Rd, in Belmont MA. Details below.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
Warmly,
Joel
p.s. -- Belmont is right next door to Cambridge and easy to get to by public transport -- take bus 74 & 75 from Harvard Sq to the Bright Rd stop and my home is a 4 minute walk -- or use Uber, taxi, etc. If the weather is nice, we're about a half-hour walk from Alewife MBTA station. For those driving, feel free to park anywhere on the street.

COMING SOON TO THE LAB
September 3, 2016: Facilitating Workshops
Our penultimate Lab, "Facilitating Workshops," highlights ideas and activities from Insight Improvisation one can apply and teach in group settings.
Over the years, leading numerous workshops in the US -- as well as in Thailand, South Korea, India, and China -- a set of approaches has evolved to introducing groups to drama therapy in general and more specifically to Insight Improv. These include:
- Unique exercises designed to bring individuals in groups closer, helping create the intimacy and safety needed to do personal work in a group setting
- Ways of working in pairs and small groups and having that work feed back into the group as a whole
- Wisdom about leading workshops in other languages and with different cultures
In September's Lab, we will practice, explore, and discuss these exercises and approaches. This Lab is for those interested in designing and/or leading their own workshops and classes, those who would like to teach in other countries, and for those interested in learning and teaching Insight Improvisation.
Please join us Saturday, September 3rd, 2:00-5:30PM, at 22 Hartley Rd in Belmont, MA.
