In Medicine Theater we draw on elements of play, improvisation, free-writing, music, dance, ensemble building techniques, character and story creation, as well as movement exercises as a way of discovering the story that wants to emerge from us. This is not an environment that pushes at any sort of outcome; but rather a safe, open ended space where we are invited to awaken our creative being and come back to a natural sense of play, allowing for our story to emerge almost as if by accident. 

We use a variety of methods ranging from over the top comedic physical expression to more vulnerable internal heart/mind/body exploration as a way to find that depth of story together. Medicine Theater Improv bridges it's own unique style of play along with many exercises and games first developed by Viola Spolin (the internationally recognized originator of Theater Games and Chicago's The Second City Improv).
