  • MNprov FrieNDs are free improv workshops for neurodivergent youth ages 13 - 18.

    The workshops will take place Monday through Friday from 9 am to 12 pm at The Hive Collaborative, 677 Hamline Ave N, St. Paul.

    There will be three sessions: June 15 - 19, July 13 - 17, and August 10 - 14.

  • At MNprov FrieNDs I can expect to feel safe, have fun, and meet some new people while playing improvisation games.

    I can participate in the improvisation games as much or as little as I would like. Michael Bruckmueller, the teaching artist, is really flexible and understands that sometimes participants might need to watch for a bit before joining, or may need to take a break. It’s fine if I want to watch for awhile, or take a break if I need one.

    The most important thing about improvisation games is the “YES, AND . . .” rule. All of the participants will say “YES” to my ideas, and I will say “YES” to the ideas offered by others. As we say “YES” to each other and add new ideas, we will create something brand new together.

    I can expect to laugh a lot at MNprov FrieNDS, and laughing is a great way to decrease stress.

  • If I have any questions, I can send an email to info@mnprov.org
