A mirroring exercise from Improv theatre (1960s) used frequently in the work of Viola Spolin one of the key founders of Improv theater. This mirroring exercise is something that mediators in a way also apply when they ‘mirror’ or emphasize the dynamics of a stuck mediation.

Her current research project ‘What does peace mean to you?’ explores how the public defines, imagines, and visualises peace. She is conducting a cross-national survey on which factors impact people’s peace norms and values and whether social representations of peace differ across contexts. Other research interests are creative approaches to conflict resolution and mediation, emotions in political discourse, civic education, and public engagement around controversial topics.

Improvisation can be both a product of reflecting in the heat of the moment (the next move the mediator makes) as well as a result of reflective learning afterward which will help the practitioner to grow and find better ways to deal with unexpected turns in the future (enlarging his/her toolbox).
