Guidance for Educators
We help educators of all backgrounds integrate improvisational techniques into their facilitation. Our professional development is designed with a playful, socially conscious community in mind.
We know that educators are leaders and change makers that need to nourish their curiosity and creativity just like their students. Our trainings are designed for those who want to learn through an immersive process that is affirming, creative, and deeply connected to our shared humanity.
Online or in-person, let's have fun and imagine new ways of co-creating.

Testimonial
"I cannot say enough good things. Tavish and the rest of the team put a great deal of thought behind and into every class, and every communication. I learned so much that is otherwise lacking in most improv spaces, which still operate from old-school, early/mid 20th c (and honestly, harmful) mindsets. Improv can be so much more and BCI aims to find those touchpoints. Researched, sourced and thoughtful approaches, even in the most stressful of situations."
