I am in the process of starting an improv-based training corporation in Lebanon. It will be the first in Lebanon and the whole Arab World (Middle East even, if we exclude Israel, probably). If you are interested in a partnership with this corporation, please message me so that we can discuss the possibilities.

Best,
Raffi

Consider me a west coast contact. And you'll be my Toronto contact?

As I always say about any and every kind of conflict, that's something not to be avoided but explored! It's amazing where the willingness to be curious and play will lead you...although obviously at the outset, many people mired in conflict aren't willing to abandon their entrenched positions... so improv and Forum Theatre is a good way of getting them to consider another perspective.

We are new in business, but I believe if a core group "gets it" and is rewarded for new behavior, change can happen rapidly. I think about the workshops we do - we tell people to mirror each other and they do! Tell them to dance and they do. They are given permission and for the period of permission they behave in a new way. Change is a reach - a challenge. My challenge is how to empower this new behavior. How to facilitate it. And then again maybe that goal is beyond MY reach... do you think we are planting seeds? I have to figure this out!

thanks for your posting. I'm new at this social networking thing, so don't expect a lot of texting from me. But I'm here in spirit

And I met Del Close in Chicago!
How close is that.

So next year...Chicago (does it get better?)...it would be so great to learn from/with you and your Second City colleagues and friends about Del's contributions. Looking forward to seeing you in 2008 if not before.

Mc Bride said…: I always had great respect for the Toronto Company---of course they have the luxury of not having to work in front of predominantly American audiences. :) "Great ideas are a dime a dozen. What you need is great execution." GOOD quote! I am seeking partners for a new venture wherein online daters go offline for a weekend resort retreat to examine their relationship issues fun and games style. I have a centrally located all suites hotel in mind for the series of events/classes. Additionally I would be able to employ or work with a person or persons such as yourself with corporate clients.
