Comment by Pam Gilberd on August 27, 2008 at 11:44am: Hi, I just joined AIN and look forward to going to the conference. In the meantime, I am working on a book about how improvisation principles help working women (I know they're helpful for everyone, but his is the focus of the book). Anyone who has a client that I can talk to about her experience with improv benefiting her work, please advise. Also, would like to learn more about the techniques that women particularly want to gain from improv.
Many thanks,
Pam

As some of you may know Charna Halpern has had to pull out of our Precon and interview as she had opportunities that she just couldn't walk away from. We are really pleased for her but that sucked for us.
But things just have a way of working out and we are delighted to be able to say that we have managed to get Mick Napier, founder and artistic director of The Annoyance Theatre to take over the pre-conference slot and also to be interviewed. Mick is regarded by many as the foremost teacher and director in Chicago. He has history with both Second City and with IO and I belive he has been asked to direct the 50th anniversary mainstage review for Second City next year.
I can't tell you how excited I am that Mick will be joining us.
See you in Chicago
