With support from the California Arts Council, Unscripted Learning will support Connections, an improvised theatre program designed to help teenagers and young adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) improve their creative thinking, listening and social awareness and develop a variety of social and communication skills in a safe environment.
Developed in conjunction with the National Comedy Theatre in 2017, Unscripted Learning uses improvisational theatre to teach the concepts of teamwork, leadership, and creative problem solving as well as teaching improv skills and theory. Programs include:
Connections: An improvisational theatre program for teenagers and young adults on the autism spectrum.
Kids and Teens Programs: Unscripted Learning uses improv comedy to teach teamwork, sportsmanship and leadership in addition to performance skills, while providing a forum for students to have fun in a wholesome, supportive environment.
Active Minds: An educational program, designed exclusively for seniors, that teaches improvisational acting techniques and skills to improve cognitive ability, foster brain health, broaden creative expression and help increase social interaction.
