A Sparxis Workshop with Robert MacKie

This workshop is an invitation to step out of your head and into the moment, using the fundamental tools of improv to rediscover your natural creativity.

Far from being a class on “how to be funny,” it focuses on the core philosophy of “Yes, And”—a mindset of radical acceptance and collaborative support.

Through a series of playful, group-based exercises, you will develop essential soft skills like active listening, emotional agility, and presence, all while connecting with a diverse community of like-minded locals.

Whether you’re looking to kill your inner critic, improve your teamwork, or simply try something new in a safe and supportive environment, this session provides the perfect “blank canvas” to explore what happens when you stop planning and start playing.

Who’s this workshop for?

  • Individuals seeking personal growth: If you want to quiet your inner critic, boost your confidence, creativity, and learn to trust your instincts in a supportive environment.
  • Professionals and collaborators: Those looking to sharpen their active listening, improve their “on-your-feet” thinking, and bring a “Yes, And” mindset to their team.
  • Community seekers: Local people looking for a low-pressure, high-energy way to meet new others and connect through laughter.
  • The “Improv-Curious: Anyone who has ever thought “I could never do that.” This is a safe space to realize that if you can hold a conversation, you can improvise.
