Choose Your Own Reality at the Y

Remember those Choose-Your-Own-Adventure books that allowed the reader to choose the protagonist's next step? What if you could LIVE as that protagonist instead of just reading about someone else's journey? What if life was one big live-action Choose-Your-Own-Adventure?

Led by the interactive performance ensemble Playing with Reality, this workshop begins with several exercises that create a safe, nonjudgmental space and teach the fundamentals of interactive improvisation. Workshop participants will then step into the role of the protagonist of personalized, improvised stories that they get to co-create on the spot. By remembering how we played make believe as kids, we can learn valuable, real-life lessons about the choices we make, the connections we nurture (or neglect), and the challenges we can ultimately overcome.
