Spreading the Transforming Power of Improvisation

Wanted: Tips from those who've gone through Loose Moose Impro School

Hi Everybody!

I'm off to the warm-up, impro school, and mask workshop of Loose Moose in Calgary starting at the end of July and was wondering if any of you Loose Moose graduates/workshop leaders have any tips for excited newbies? Could be anything down to what to bring, tips on doing laundry on the campus, how to get the best out of the workshops - you know...good stuff...

I look forward to receiving your wisdom! Best wishes, Belina

I'm going to the Loose Moose improv school this year too, so not only will I get to see you soon in London after the Trondheim conference, but we'll also get to play together in Calgary. Yippee!

I think it's full this year, though it's worth contacting them as people drop out. It would be great to have you there!

I'm a Loose Moose Alumnus, so although I can't speak directly on what is currently going on with the school I can offer some info.

Calgary weather in July should be nice. Looking 25 - 32 degrees celcius (80 ish f). There is often a trip to the mountains so it is good to have a rain / wind breaker, sweater and comfortable shoes (sneakers are fine).

Be sure to wear comfortable clothing you can play and move around in for the classes. Be ready to play!!

Calgary is a nice city and the LMTC folk will look after you. They've run the school for many years now so they have it all sorted. If you need anything just ask one of them and they will help.

If there is anything specific you'd like to know please feel free to ask.

I'm delighted and jealous you are going. hmmm homesick now....

Thank you for your tips and experience! I am doubly excited now. And 'Loose Moose Alumnus' is just plain fun to say. Can't wait!

Will you be at the Chicago AIN?

No worries, happy to help build the excitement factor!

Unfortunately I won't be in Chicago. I look forward to making it to an AIN somewhere along the way.

Safe and happy travels,

I believe there is some time that we'll be visiting Loose Moose. Perhaps I will see you there. Anyone else attending either of these? =Daniel; ▶ Reply to This
