In general, I really liked the simplicity of the work and the exercises. More specifically:

Kat--this was an awesome session. I used the 3 types of exercises when doing a workshop today and it helped me setup the entire agenda with activities from each area. Super helpful.
Paul - Thank you so much for taking the time to post your group's ideas. Fantastic - as I knew they would be. Yes, so much talent and experience in the room, it would have been a crime not to tap into it.
I look forward to appropriating some of t...
I also want to say how excellent it was that you had us spend time together co-creating designs -- it set the tone for the weekend, of "let's learn from who is in front of the room, but let's also learn from each other!"

Yes, thank you Kat for a great session. I particularly loved the deprecating vibe when Maxine said she hadn't been listening to you, and you said "I haven't either"!

We should have all our strategy sessions in giant hot tubs. And I love that improv is fast becoming such a ubiquitous, and therefore generic approach. Whatever we call ourselves, we rock.

A conference organizer at SF State is looking for a facilitator - a facilitator of color.
I'm writing to see if you know of anyone - and would be willing to recommend him or her for this event. He's looking for someone with innovative facilitation experience and skills in things like Open Space.
The specific session in question is:
- Colliding Worldviews & Collaboration Skills for the 21st Century
Integrating Social Intelligence Into Health Care & Daily Life
Saturday, April 19, 2008, 9am-5pm (8:30 Check-In)

Uta M. Walter said… - HI Kat -
nice to find you on this network! I have been thinking about you, William and the rest of the gang who were so gracious to take part in my dissertation. I have settled back in Germany and am trying to re-establish some theatre and improv connections. Hope you are well in Albany.
Greetings from Berlin,
Uta

Laura Faye Smith said… - Hey Kat! In addition to On Your Feet, I've been working at Oregon Children's Theatre, managing one of their programs and teaching - I've also been working with a long form improv group that Gary and Mame and I started, much inspired by our time at BATS--I love, love, love it. I'm also doing regular theatre, voice over and some small film projects--and trying to fit in time with family and friends so my life isn't just work work work!
How about you? How do you like living in Albany?

- Hi Kat! I know I haven't seen you since taking the Spontaneous Broadway course at BATS a couple summers ago, but I have never forgotten all I learned from you - I hope you are well!
