When last did life really excite you ... what about having fun? Do you still ‘play’ sometimes? Or are your days a chain of have to do’s and must get done’s?
We have discovered a shortcut. We would like to remind you in the words of the great poet Schiller, that only great men remember how to joyously play like innocent children, but then, one first has to become great to know how to do this

Share a favorite 'improv epiphany'
I remember doing an improv quite some years ago where I applied a Yoshi Oida technique whereby you 'visualize' your energy on the stage before your entrance. Something magical happened & the whole improv was filled with tremendous 'magic' and integrity. Perhaps it has something to do with the visualization / forward projection of energy ...
I need help with...
I would like to start applying the power play into corporate workshops. I have the skills, experience and the know-how, but am not quite sure how to proceed.
Hi Maia
Ek neem aan jy is Afrikaans. Ek en my suster het verlede maand 'n company begin met die naam playing mantis, wat presies doen waarin jy belangstel. Ek dink ons kan moontlik ons powers combine. Check ons website uit - playingmantis.net (die site is nog in wording, op die stadium is nog net die content gelaai.) Ons is in Stellenbosch gebaseer maar doen werk oor die hele wereld, en ons gaan verseker in die toekoms van meer mense se skills wil gebruik maak. As jy ooit in die kaap kom moet ons ophook. Ek is in Pretoria die 2de week in Junie dan kan ons ook ontmoet.
I am in the early stages of research. The project would entail probably 2 days of work, 1 for practice and design and the other day for facilitation and performance with an audience of about 1,000. There would be a number of phone/skype conversations a s well before this. The conference is in Johannesburg in early July. I am at the budgeting stage and need understand rates in SA, we are looking for 2 improvisers , they need to be very skilled in both performance and facilitation. Can you give me a sense of a range you would charge for 2 days and probably another 5 hours of design? Sorry tonot to be able to give you the client at this stage.
