At 8:55am on December 3, 2009, Patricia Ryan Madson said…: Dear Raymond,
I am THRILLED to learn that Improv Wisdom has found its way into a Scandinavian university, thanks to YOU. I appreciate your birthday wish. I am so grateful to know this. By the way, the book is now available in a German translation and on Amazon's German site.
Warm thanks,
Patricia

Hope you do fine at home and hope to see you some time in Yogya.

At 12:44am on October 20, 2009, Joep C. de Jong said…: Dear Raymond, the last two weeks are still open. I've no idea where to find Pokahara in Nepal (I will look it up later today), but as said we're open to a good improvisation for the last two weeks in Nepal. Best regards, Joep

At 12:28pm on October 15, 2009, Joep C. de Jong said…: Dear Raymond, a cup of tea in the environment of Utrecht is fine. Will have to aim for December though. Will start a new job November 1st and will also go to Nepal for three weeks in November / December (Appreciative Inquiry conference and holidays). But would really enjoy meeting somewhere in December. Best regards, Joep

At 8:45pm on September 15, 2009, Michael Grotehusmann said…: Hi Raymond, I hope zou enjoied zour stay here in Indonesia. The improv class here in Yogya started a little lame. Just four actors showed up, but a little dicussion revealed, that the class was just too expansive (due to the rent I had to pay). Now that I found a much cheaper room, there is a class of 7 that really enjoyes improv. We train twice a week and due to the cheap conditions, it will go for 6 weeks. Because improv is completely new in Indonesia, I decided not to explain what is done in a show but to start with practice and little games immediately. It works great, mainly, because most of the team are experienced actors who are not shy at all but very brave. bAfter having learned about accepting, offers, step bz step and status we will have a look at what makes a good story today.
I hope you are fine,
Mike
