A show about improv, mindfulness, creativity, and play, hosted by Taj Baker.

This month, we explore how noticing the details- whether real or imagined- makes life sweeter.

The episode starts with an improv scene which sparks a discussion about using things from your life to inspire creativity. We invite listeners to try this in a short exercise.

Taj talks with Pez Owen about the intersections between improvisation and mindfulness.  They offer listeners a chance to explore their sensory environment, 

and an improv game that develops spontaneity.

Rick Horner joins Taj for a segment where they give listeners some improv games to play, then they do a grounded dramatic scene. 

The show wraps up with another improv scene.

Sprinkled throughout, some musical interludes.
