Improv Conference/Visting New York

Over at Applied Improv Network I’ve posted the planned programme for our Conference in New York, September 29-October 2.

It should be a really good event combining some pre-prepared presentations with Open Space for people to create conversations in the moment. A step towards unconferencing.

One of the sessions that particularly interests me is this one: Performing the Brand: Using Applied Improvisation to Build Authentic Internal and External Brands with On Your Feet and other Celebrity Guests. More details on this have yet to be added but I think it will be fascinating. I’m planning to show up there with some insights from our Open Sauce workshops. Branding types can book just for this day if they like.

This means I’ll be in NY this fall and James and I are planning to run an Open Sauce Live there in early October, details to be confirmed later.

Leading from the clown

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.
