MNprov provides improv workshops for neurodiverse (and neurotypical) students and  adults (18+). Additionally, MNprov provides professional development improv workshops for teachers, social workers, and a wide variety of corporations. Our hugely successful improv workshops for neurodivergent adults -- MNprov Mixers -- are provided FREE in the Minnesota community (both in-person and on Zoom). Our students report:

                   "It helps me feel more confident."   ~  "It makes me happy." 

                   "It helps me think faster."  ~  "It gives me something to look forward to." 

                   "It might help me to remember to have fun in life."

But our funding grant ends in April! Help us keep MNprov Mixers funded and available to the community for FREE. 

ALL GTMD DONATIONS WILL GO TO FUND MNprov MIXERS!

Research has shown improv — a fun, inclusive, zany & silly (and seriously effective!) activity — helps individuals learn to participate in group activities, develop social skills, learn divergent thinking, and boost self-confidence.

MNprov has found (supported by additional research), that individuals who participate in improv experience and develop:  improved relationship building skills; an increase and a strengthening of self-confidence; improved collaboration skills; more flexibility of thought and adaptability; and also experience decreasing levels of stress.

MNprov (Minnesota + Improv) was founded in 2019 by Michael Bruckmueller and Kelly Kautz after several years of successfully providing applied improvisation to students on the autism spectrum in the Minnetonka School District, the North Saint Paul School district, and at the Autism Society of Minnesota.

The mission of MNprov is to use inclusive applied improvisation strategies to strengthen the social, emotional and communication skills of a neurodiverse group of learners by providing interactive, authentic and enjoyable educational experiences in a safe, supportive and creative environment.
