If you're interested in getting together with folks from the Pacific Northwest area to experiment with your ideas, start a 'mastermind' group, or have some kind of regional conference, etc. then please jump on in!

Share a favorite 'improv epiphany'
I am walking very carefully
on the edge of chaos
when your hand touches mine
we fall into a net of laughter

How did you hear about this network?
From my violin. Oh, and Gary Hirsch (thank you Gary!)

the only reason
these words rest
so quietly on this page
well behaved, level – all that
is because no one has grabbed them
lately, tickled them, turned them
into cascades of indecipherable joy

Hello honey! Hope you find that contact teacher you are looking for... The other movement class you might want to look into in the portland area is "stretchappeal" at Bodyvox Dance studio... it might be a good limberer upper if you were going to get deeply into the contact world.

Wow! I'm excited that you've connected to Joel. I adore a lot of his "Insight Improv" work -- especially "psolodrama." Hope to see you on Wed. at the ArtsRising.net potluck. Please pass the word to others. In a few minutes Christopher will try to send the invite through this site
