Normally hosted by Anfernee the Confidentpreneur , these monthly talks help educate by having specialists speak of what they know and they answer your questions.  As Anfernee is in the US doing the talk circuit, he has asked me to facilitate this month's event in his place. 

So, if you want to know how to do what you love and live off it, then come on down to the FREE event on 6pm Thursday 24/07/14 at the Fishburner, BUT you have to RSVP via the MEETUP link:

Hope to see you there!

Parramatta Revealed 2013 - 2014

They printed me up in the "2013-2014 Parramatta Revealed" booklet!  

Also, I did some improvised puppetry for the Parramatta Lanes event the last couple of weeks, and apparently I appeared in the local paper with the puppet I was operating ("Cerny the GAKI" puppet, which brings awareness to the dwindling numbers of Tasmanian Devils due to mouth cancer).  Hopefully, I can find a copy of the article!

I've just uploaded some new videos which will give you a better understanding about what improv is, what and how I teach and how I got started in this crazy business..!  

Go to the MEDIA section for the videos. 

Alternatively, there's also a short interview with Wez Champion, Puppet Builder, about what his take on improv is and how he and I have a shared link!  That's in the CLIENTS & TESTIMONIALS section. 

Also, I'm currently in discussions with a few libraries to bring some improv story-telling called FORGOTTEN FABLES! Stay tuned for locations and dates!

Awesome!

I've managed to setup the booking application for the Bite-sized Brain Boosters for Improv (30 minute lessons to fit in your lunch break) and the 10 Week Improv Class for Newbies (2 hour long each week so you don't have to pay for parking)!  You can secure your spot on the BOOKINGS page, but what are the courses in a nut-shell?
