vol.026在即兴戏剧里,找到被看见和被允许的自己 | 对话一起即兴创始人(林安X小E)
即兴戏剧有什么魅力,让一个90后离开创业公司的「总裁」职位,一头扎进了里面?从一开始阴差阳错接触即兴,到辞去高薪工作全职做即兴戏剧,现在,小E在上海成立了一家叫做「一起即兴」的公司,把即兴戏剧从百分百爱好变成了百分百事业。聊天过程中最让我意外的是,做着这样一份每天需要跟很多人打交道的工作,小E却说自己有一些「社恐」,在人很多的场合也会「怯场」。她是如何克服的呢?这期播客,我们由浅入深地聊了即兴戏剧的诸多理念、实践方法、学习体验和由此衍生的,即兴戏剧对一个人性格习惯的改变和心理的治愈。现代社会,每个人都有“被看见”的需求,在即兴戏剧里,我们先被他人看见,再看见了自己。嘉宾介绍小E,一起即兴创始人,斯坦福即兴人生课认证老师,师从斯坦福戏剧教授 Patricia Ryan Madson(《即兴的智慧》作者)。6年即兴表演学习经历,中国首批即兴剧演员和应用培训师,曾在全球最大的即兴表演培训中心The Second City,UBC ,旧金山的 BATS 剧场等学习即兴表演。专注于将即兴戏剧的练习及理念,通过行动式和体验式的学习,运用到企业团队和个人成长。主播:
