Dr. Barbara Tint tells how the principals of improv theater can be used in conflict resolution
Skills that are developed in improvisational theater can be transferred to conflict resolution according to Dr. Barbara Tint, Associate Professor at Portland State University. Barbara has participated in improvisational theater for a number of years and incorporates its principles and techniques into her teaching and conflict resolution work. Her focus is on using applied improv in a variety of settings including humanitarian disaster preparedness, trauma healing, conflict resolution, training about power and status for organizations, etc. What do students learn in improv, and how are those skills a perfect fit for conflict resolution? Barbara will be sharing her experiences with host Stephanie Potter. Join the discussion -- call-in's welcome!
