Creative Leadership
Date: Saturday, June 16
Location: Atrium, Stamp Student Union
Time: 12:00 PM to 3:30 PM
Cost: Free to UMD Students
Imagine you’re backstage at the theater, with a packed audience looking forward to a great show. But there’s one catch: you don’t know your lines, and neither does anyone else. Now go out there and put on a show, a show that’s never been seen before, and that never will be seen again!
p.s. Make it funny.
That’s the scenario that improvisers face every night they perform, and they succeed (and have fun doing it) through confidence, creativity, and supportive collaboration—and the same skills can help you succeed in any classroom, workplace, organization, or team. This interactive workshop uses improv-based training from the professionals at Washington Improv Theater to help you spark creativity and innovation in your leadership.
You'll laugh, be challenged, and try many new things. Join us and take a creative look at your leadership abilities!
Participation is FREE. Lunch and materials are provided for the day at no cost. Space is limited.
