Getting Agile

Neil Perkin and I have put together a new workshop for Friday September 17th.

We’re calling it Getting Agile. We’ll explore the idea and practice of agility. It will combine serious content with seriously playful experience of agile using improv activities.

This is a subject Neil has written a lot about and we also did a podcast about it a few months back with Rob Paterson.

We’re holding it at the lovely Wallacespace in St Pancras and the earlybird rate is £195 inc VAT (going up to £250 on 1 September).

More details and booking forms.

Hamlet and meeting absurdity

I shot this in a single eight-minute take, which is in the spirit of an experience of Ralf Wetzel’s workshop, Leading from the Clown. Clown training is probably the deepest and most challenging work I’ve done. Enjoy.

The Hub

I took part in an open evening at The Hub on Thursday. I ran a couple of sessions using improv to explore how people can connect to generate new ideas.

Innovation Conference

I generally find the cheapest conferences are the best so a free one is not to be sniffed at. NESTA are hosting a one-dayer 20 May called The Innovation Edge
