Learn Improv from ComedySportz!
Our ten-week workshops teach skills, boost confidence, and will ultimately gain you more friends. Each week we'll play different improv games; and learn exercises in team-building, trust, spontaneity, scene-building, accepting and conquering fears - and have a lot of fun in the process.

I swear, the Toronto Improv Festival has changed my life for the second year running. I had great shows -- Drum Machine and Storybox, and taught a wonderful improv intensive with willing and able students from across the continent. I saw my favorite improv show ever, Imp from New York. What else happened? Ten thousand things. O Canada! I stand on guard for thee!

It's a show called State of the Arts at 10am. That's 91.1 on your FM dial if you live in the Minneapolis zone, or on the web here. I talked and talked but forgot to plug anything that I'm doing within 400 miles of here. I'm a dunderhead. But I did get pretty high-falutin' about improv theory, we'll see how it edited down Jillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12256907782965206856noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287457.post-1082685558894608152004-04-22T18:58:00.000-07:002004-04-22T19:04:51.046-07:00I know!

Thanks to everyone who came. My cut of the earnings will probably cover most of what must occur in Chicago. It's going to be tight -- but if we've learned one thing, it's that it's possible to get by in Chicago on fifty cents a day if you like nutty bars.Jillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12256907782965206856noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287457.post-1081315218786563002004-04-06T22:20:00.000-07:002004-04-06T22:28:41.733-07:00Please come to a special benefit show:
