Share a favorite 'improv epiphany'
I started improv in Japanese, which is not my native language. As I struggled with mistakes at work, mistakes in conversation, mistakes in every waking moment of my life lived in a foreign language, improv was the only place where I had permission from everyone to REALLY mess it up and get it wrong with glorious abandon. There's such an absolute freedom to be wrong - and celebrate it - that I realised early I actually improvise better in Japanese than when I feel more obliged to get it right in English.

Hey you! How was Taiwan?? Great that your team made it to the finals. Like I said, they must have a great teacher!
Any definitive travel plans? Let me know, so I can make sure I'm in Holland at the end of August.

Hiya Nerida... How are you? All rested up and back at your "regular" life? Did your special equipment arrive?

I had a day with a local friend, Kyoko last Tuesday. And while she was describing (thru her mask) how hard the pollen is on her, I risked telling her about the benefits of de-toxing. I can send info/process description, but was clueless about local equip. sources. Would you be willing to talk with her?

Please email me: sue@improvworks.org since our conversation falls in the category of "private".

Hello Nerida... I'm chagrined to say I didn't notice your message on my page til just now (Feb 22). Duh!!!

Do you have any experience setting up Open Space? The Program Team lost our Open Space Facilitator, so are searching for another.

Hi Nerida-san! I am sorry for the lateness of my reply!
YES! I am a student at SFC! And i've heard about the performance classes on Tuesday!
Hikalou also teaches a presentation class at SFC on mondays, during the spring semester.
