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!  

Here's a bit of the blurb:

Feeling frustrated at work or life in general? Bored or stressed? Or maybe you want to learn what improv is and play some games like those you've seen on Whose Line Is It Anyway? 

Take note that this isn't an acting workshop. It isn't a workshop to make you funny. It's a workshop to give you an insight what improv is and how you the principles might help you in your life, AND done in a fun way, with laughs abound! 

For more details please contact us either via Facebook or contacting us on our webpage.

It's getting close to Christmas, and most people are winding down, but I'm preparing to teach more classes in Parramatta, Kellyville, Burwood and possibly Chatswood!

Well, I've just signed up with a Speakers' Bureau to do some speaking on the following keynotes:

• Failure is an option for success
• I'm the "i" in team

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!

This month we have a number of workshops, seminars and shows coming up for you! So whether you're involved in aged care (e.g. retire villages, low care nursing homes, etc), an beginner improvisor or actor, or even someone who wants to get their own event up and running, then this month is a bumper month for you!

All requested by you, we're going hard with providing the services you've been asking for! 

Busy, busy! For an improv business, I'm doing a lot of planning including drafting up the lesson plans. ;)

Just a quick note that there are now After School Improv Classes for teens aged between 13 to 15 years old from 4pm to 6pm in 50 minute blocks starting from Wednesday 17 July 2013 each week.  Price?  $17 including GST for each block.

Also, the 10 week improv newbie improv classes have been reduced down to 8 weeks to allow people to take the Labour Day week off with family should they so wish. :)

More details can be found on the BOOKING page.  

And with that, 'exit, stage left'!

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?
