Abstract
ABSTRACT This article adds to the literature on improvisation and creative aging with a phenomenological study of six older adults’ experiences with improvisation through a senior education program offered at a Mid-Atlantic community senior center in the United States. Data took the form of two individual interviews and a focus group. Participants reported improv classes helped them build community, provided an avenue to grow, and gave them a place to play. Older adults often battle negative stereotypes of aging. Improv may be a catalyst for creative aging which helps combat negative stereotypes and gives older improvisers the means to positive aging.
