Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, Unscripted Learning will use improvisational theatre to teach teamwork, creative expression, leadership, and problem-solving, while also bringing the theory and practice of improv to underserved communities. Our programs foster creativity and connection across generations and abilities, including seniors and youth on the autism spectrum. At a time when funding for the arts is being cut at local, state, and national levels, support from the CAC is more critical than ever. Without it, Unscripted Learning will be forced to reduce or end low-cost classes, cutting off access to a proven resource for youth with ASD and other underserved communities that thrive through creativity, connection, and the power of improv.
Organization Summary
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.
