Paul and Alain, You seemed to know from the start what this organization could be (and is). I, for one, talk about applied improv frequently in my work which is my small way of contributing. I love the AIN site and also find it a bit confusing. I"m…
I did my own workshop on "Status."
I couldn't explain it beforehand, or what I was looking for (beforehand),
but we tried it and it worked well.

The SF Bay AIN meetings are always productive. I loved being reminded that getting involved at the local community level could lead to local work gigs. I'm always amazed at how a group of people can spark so many more ideas for debriefing and so man…
