Ingrid Bergman and Charles Boyer in the 1944 film “Gaslight.” She opened a link to read an improv blog and, instead, found a donation request; he told her it was all in her imagination. She donated anyway: https://www.simpletix.com/e/friends-indeed-tickets-168575#smtx-click.
I’ll be brief!
Table Salt Productions is producing a fundraiser (Friends, Indeed!) for the Centre for Expressive Psychotherapy in Bangladesh on May 15, 2024 at 7:00 in Saint Paul at the HIVE Collaborative. I’ve worked with this organization for two summers in Chittagong, Bangladesh, learning about Expressive Psychotherapy and teaching improv classes based on improving mental health.
Our fundraiser will feature music by Jen Scott (Penny and the Bandits) and Dennis Curley! We’ll also enjoy some improv performances with Kelly Kohlbacher from The Theater of Public Policy and Delta Giordano from Mental Health Resources. And–at the risk of being pedantic–we’ll glance at the ways improv can improve mental health by:
Regulating the Autonomic Nervous System
Reframing negative narratives through non-judgment
