Strength Based Improvisation – Level 1 Training Facilitators: Lisa Jackert, MA, MT-BC and Robin Rio, MA, MT-BC In 2001, Lisa and Robin presented their first joint workshop on the use of clinical improvisation that began the development of defining their approach. They have been presenting Strength-Based Improvisation experiential groups regionally and nationally since 2004, traveling to Seoul in 2006 and to Canada in 2008 to share their work in improvisation in a peer group setting. Strength-Based Improvisation is an experiential training program that values the personal work of the therapist and welcomes those with any amount of improvisation experience. Participants may use the instrument of their choice, which can include percussion or voice, and sessions incorporate movement and visual art for creative expression. Non-threatening improvisation opportunities are aimed at exploration of the “music self” while therapists are simultaneously learning techniques to engage clients.
