We use improv to empower Detroit area youth, building confidence and teaching a creative, collaborative approach to life. The best part?
Founded in 2011, we've been a 501(c)(3) nonprofit since 2013. Classes & workshops across SE Michigan, and statewide educator training We are a nonprofit organization working to make sure every child has the chance to succeed. Through our flagship program, The Improv Project, we’re working to give Detroit's young people tools they can use to make meaningful changes in their lives. These young improvisers gain confidence and learn lessons that would make all of us better people. They develop the ability to collaborate, listen, respect others’ views, and build literacy skills. And they learn what is possible when they take risks, practice, and persevere. Along the way many discover who they are, and who they want to become. These lessons endure after improv class ends. When you donate to The Detroit Creativity Project, 100% of your money goes to support kids in The Improv Project. For $180 you can provide ten weeks of improv training to a child and help ensure they have the opportunity to succeed.

DCP Youth Advisor Faith is here to share her favorite improv game: Alphabet Improv.
Here's how it works: Player 1 starts the scene with a line that begins with the letter "A." Player 2 continues with a line beginning with "B." Then it's back to player 1, whose next line has to start with "C," and so on. Working through the alphabet one letter, one line at a time, the players build the story and find their way to an ending. The challenge: to make it all the way to Z!
It's quick thinking and wordplay all in one, no easy feat when you're also trying to keep a scene going.
Try Alphabet Improv with 2 or more people and see how far you get through the alphabet.
