March 8th Member Event
*Reminder*

On March 8th, join us for Improving Through Impov, presented by David Gouthro and Alisdair Smith.

Improvisational Theatre (improv) has been a core curriculum component in virtually every school of acting and/or performing arts for many years. More relevant from the perspective of ISPI members, it is a powerful method for improving the performance of the organizations they work with as well as providing individual practitioners with professional growth opportunities. You will leave this session with: at least two improv activities you can immediately choose to integrate into your work; a greater understanding of the opportunities for using improv as a performance technologist; a greater appreciation for the improvisational talent amongst the other participants; and a healthy dose of fun!

Who are David and Alisdair? David Gouthro is President of The Consulting Edge and has been a frequent presenter at ISPI Vancouver ISPI Chapter meetings. The Rev. Alisdair Smith works with the Vancouver TheatreSports League in their Corporate Training Group as a trainer and facilitator.

Conference Volunteers

We are overwhelmed with the number of volunteers to help us at the conference. Volunteers at the conference will be acting as hosts to conference attendees, answering questions, and assisting where needed throughout the week. We are not anticipating anyone providing more than one hour of their time away from any conference activities. If you are interested in volunteering and have not yet told us, please email Erica Groschler (ericag@telus.net).
