THIS INVOLVED MODIFYING OUR SYLLABUS TO ADAPT IMPROV EXERCISES TO AN ONLINE FORMAT, DEVELOPING A NEW WEBSITE WITH RESOURCES FOR EDUCATORS, PARENTS, AND STUDENTS, THE IMPROV PROJECT AT HOME, AND FORMING NEW PARTNERSHIPS WITH OTHER NONPROFIT SERVICE PROVIDERS REACHING YOUTH ONLINE. EARLY ON IN THE SHUTDOWN, MANY OF OUR STUDENTS HAD LIMITED ACCESS TO THE INTERNET AND DEVICES. TO CONTINUE TO SERVE THEM, WE LAUNCHED A YOUTUBE CHANNEL WITH VIDEO IMPROV LESSONS THAT WERE ACCESSIBLE BY MOBILE PHONES AND A PRINTED POSTCARD SERIES MAILED TO STUDENTS' HOMES. THE SHIFT TO NEW PLATFORMS REQUIRED AN INVESTMENT IN EQUIPMENT FOR OUR TEACHING ARTISTS. THE TEAM WAS ALSO TEMPORARILY FURLOUGHED BY OUR PARTNER, Y ARTS, THE ARTS DIVISION OF THE YMCA OF METROPOLITAN DETROIT. WE CONTRACTED WITH THE TEACHING ARTISTS DIRECTLY THROUGH SUMMER 2020 IN ORDER TO CONTINUE PROVIDING OUR PROGRAMS.
