Wow! Darci Lynne is 13 years old (she was born in 2004 if that makes you feel old!) and is an incredible ventriloquist. Here is her Finals performance on America's Got Talent 2017.
Spoiler, she won.

“It will either turn out better than they thought, or if it doesn’t go well, they will learn that they can cope.”

An interesting article from The Atlantic that explains the theories as using improv as a form of therapy.

“The beauty of improv,” he said , “is that it is quintessentially a collective, cooperative form that rests completely on trust for the spark of creativity that can transport the players, briefly, into confidence-building interpersonal connections.”

Some psychologists think so.

An important read on the efficacy of new modes of therapy, including creative arts therapies! Way to go, Concordia!

For those grappling with tragedy or struggling to cope with social or emotional disorders, finding a healthy equilibrium can feel like an impossible challenge.

Had a great training with the leadership team of the International Civil Aviation Organization of the United Nations. I collaborated with the Ethics Officer to integrate applied improvisation techniques to explore the theme of personal, political, and organizational narratives and how this relates to conflict resolution. It was a great experience, and I feel grateful to be part of such an important initiative.
