Show Description:
For real-life psychotherapist Jude Treder-Wolff, change is her bread and butter. Sometimes a fantastic new start, sometimes a tragedy, it is the human reality. She’s also an improviser who takes a “make the leap and figure it out as you go” approach to change, married to a guy who does lots of looking before making any moves and has a strict “no leaping” clause in the marriage contract. That’s a human comedy.
As the speed of change accelerates in all our lives, the world transforms more quickly – and more often – than our brains are built to process. FASTER weaves the personal with the universal in a comedic breakdown of having one foot on the gas to try to keep up while braking to stay in control as we hurtle toward an uncertain future. It’s about life as improv, and improv for life, through true stories told by an expert in not knowing what will happen next.
The Alan Alda Center For Communicating Science utilizes applied improvisation to help scientists, researchers, medical and other professionals communicate clearly and effectively.
