Both love and improv are all about relationships. Two improvisers delve into what makes real relationships work through the lens of improv
Love & Improv
How can “Yes And” make your relationship better (or worse)? Can object work be a way to communicate with your partner? Can volunteering your theatre-adverse mate to participate in an improv show be a good move? Find out!
If you’ve got a relationship question you’d like to hear us talk about, please DM Nelson Velazquez, the Improductions, LLC page, or email me at nelson@improductionsllc.com. All submitter information will be kept confidential.
