I've been working with Keith Johnstone attending his summerschools in Calgary, AB in 2007 and 2008. Also attended several weekend workshops in Germany. In february 2008 I organized a workshop with Keith in Rotterdam, Holland.
I am interested in working with this emeritus professor because his work on improvisation contributes to my professional growth as a professional consultant. Nowadays, businesses and people need to be more and more agile and ready to deal with the ever changing moment of the now. Improv contributes to developing those skills.
