Love your knapsack idea! And the title of this blog. Do you know about the book IMPROV WISDOM? It’s not mainly about performance but about how improv is also a life strategy. You might enjoy it. Best wishes
Hi Patricia, thanks for stopping by. We have indeed read your book, and have given copies as gifts. As one of our oldest comedy friends says, “Improv lessons are life lessons.”
Oh WONDERFUL. I am honored that you’ve given the book as a gift. Happy to be on your radar. Looks like you are doing great things. I borrowed your Vedic quote for Facebook. Thanks.
