Description

This week, Sarah spoke with Dr. Bernard Armada, a Communication Studies professor, about how taking an improv class at a comedy club transformed his life and shaped his teaching philosophy.

Dr. Armada explained that while games like Zip Zap Zop might seem silly in academic or professional settings, improv is a deeply collaborative art form that helps build stronger connections between people.

By using theatrical techniques in everyday contexts, improv encourages openness, empathy, and trust – essential skills for enhancing both personal and professional relationships.
