Improv to Performance

I’m Johnnie Moore, and I help people work better together

I’m joining a few friends in putting together a series of workshops leading on to a live Improv show. The workshops will be on Tuesday evenings in central London starting on May 30th. Those going to the workshops will then put on a public performance on 4 July. The core of the group is made up of several of us who went through the same process a few weeks ago, which I reported here.

We need some new folks to join us so please let me know if you’re interested. We’re still working out the cost of the workshops but it will be minimal. This offers a great opportunity to improve your skills at improvising. Regular readers will know that I think that ability has applications way beyond performing to an audience – but having an audience does led an extra level of engagement to the learning process!

Change is the flow

I like this tweet from Bert van Lamoen: Change is not a break in the flow it IS the flow. It relates to the practice of following the follower.

Coaching: what’s in a name?

I describe myself as a facilitator but when I work one-to-one some people would call it coaching. I don’t use that term much here for a variety of reasons, many

Partcipation…

A great bit of propaganda from France 1968, and a nice sidelight on some people’s ideas of user-generated content. Hat tip: Jon Husband and Harold Jarche.
