New York, New York – Reported by Elite Traveler, the private jet lifestyle magazine
Serviced residences brand AKA is currently offering improvisation classes at New York’s Magnet Theater as part of its Live It! program. AKA guests can attend customized personal workshops or eight-week classes, learning skills such as improv, character building and the principles of performing.
Through the art of improvisation, participants develop the confidence to hold a captive audience and make others laugh, while enjoying the health and social benefits—laughter reduces stress, boosts the immune system and strengthens relationships.
As well as sharpening comic timing, residents also learn skills such as public speaking, increased confidence levels in conversations and the importance of laughing more themselves. Business travelers who often lead company-wide presentations will find themselves better at organizing ideas quickly and capturing the attention of their audience. Some of the transferable skills taught include learning to commit 100 percent to all decisions, listening to others before forming a response and specifying details in conversation.
The partnership between AKA and Magnet Theater further enhances AKA Live It!, a program providing residents with opportunities to fulfill their dreams. Specializing in stays of a week or longer, AKA offers residents ample time to learn a new skill, harvest a talent or achieve a goal. From gastronomy and fitness, to art and culture, the Live It! program gives guests the opportunity to pursue their passions.
