    Relational Aid - Practical Skill for Couples in Hard Times - with Alan Marriott

    Relational Aid - Practical Skill for Couples in Hard Times - with Alan Marriott

    We’re deep in wartime.
    We’re surrounded by war, trauma, power, dichotomies of good and bad and power. All this impacts our relationships and hurts our ability to be vulnerable.

    Join us as we talk with Alan Marriott, professional improvisor, voice actor, teacher and author of Genius Now!

    He is one of my all-time favorite improv teachers and he is BRILLIANT. His book is phenomenal and I reached out to him so we can play together and learn from his genius how we can use improv and specifically status play (which is the improv concept of power dynamics) to help couples soften hierarchy and co-create synergistic moments and intimacy
