Commitments have permitted - see you there?

All - You may be interested in this: Improvisation for Agile Coaches, Saturday 21 November, London

http://www.agilecoachesgathering.org/wiki/index.php/Home#Autumn_Eve...

An agile coach, for those not familiar with jargon of this particular persuasion, is someone who works with agile software development teams to help them change for the better. Agile software development is a fun and fashionable approach to making software - it has adaptability, self-organisation, and lean principles at its heart, and contrasts with command-and-control process-bound approaches. At least, that's what I'd have you believe.

I'll be there if commitments permit.

PS - I've not been able to get to AIN London recently - conflicts with http://www.londonbulgarianchoir.co.uk/ . This time last week, I was performing at the Electric Proms...

Hi fellow AINers... I'm back in your neighborhood and am delighted to be offering a powerful/magical/fun personal development application to Londoners. Please check out the posting of "Living Beyond Your Limits" on Saturday, October 10th and contact me with the secret code word "AIN" by Wed. to be eligible for an extension of the early reg discount.

The day is packed with games & exercises... and I know how we love playing -- I'll bet many of these are new-to-you...???

In any case, I hope to see many of you while I am here in the UK.
Sue
PS: not necessary to be an AINer to attend.

I think the most useful way to approach Contact improvisation is through the use of non contact. Start with negative space and that can undo a lot of the problems that people seem to be running into. I'm coming to the UK to teach in Sweden and would love to set up a workshop if people are interested.

Thanks Paul, perhaps I'll do that - or maybe it would be easier to invite a group to an already established contact improv drop-in class. With the right sort of facilitator I think it would be helpful to organisations if mixed in with other improv games. There is a danger of it becoming a 'grope' session though (or viewed as one) by those who are unfamiliar with contemporary dance - but I know there are theatre improv games that would cause the same sort of reaction. I suppose with anything like that (maybe it's the same with a contact sport like Rugby or getting a professional massage) it depends on where the focus is (I'm sure blokes in a scrum have usually got their focus on the ball, not on how erotic it can be to have their arms between another man's legs...although I can imagine the intimacy of the game must cross the mind of the odd newcomer - especially in a culture focussed on the notion of touch primarily leading to sex).
