“ These games create a space for us to play together and connect with our joy; they also develop imagination, confidence, critical thinking, trust, connection and understanding within groups ”
― Hannah Fox, Zoomy Zoomy: Improv Games and Exercises for Groups

Sam Wasson
“ Improvisors connect for the same basic reason you and your friends connect. Say you meet someone. You like something about them and they like something about you. Your mutual interest begets mutual play. Play begets cooperation and mutual understanding, which, trampolined by fun, becomes love. Love is the highest form of play. ”
― Sam Wasson, Improv Nation: How We Made a Great American Art
