Applied Improvisation Network (AIN): Proud Sponsor of Heroic Improvisation in the Philippines!

Our effort in the Philippines has been partially supported by the Applied Improvisation Network.
http://www.appliedimprov.com/ or on https://www.facebook.com/groups/appliedimprov/

AIN is a professional group of improvisors looking to apply improvisation process to a variety of social issues and trainers looking to enliven their training process.  I debuted the Heroic Improvisation process in a speech at the AIN 2012 conference in San Francisco.  Check out the link to that speech on my web page:  Heroic Improv in Practice.

Here is the update my Filapino collaborator  -  Gabe Mercado -- gave to our AIN colleagues on Facebook recently:


And over on this side of the globe, I welcomed AIN member Mary Tyszkiewicz to the Philippines on Friday morning.

Since then we have led two very successful Heroic Improvisation pilot programs to a mix of experienced improvisers, organizational development consultants, friends and regular citizens. The runs were successful beyond our imagination, we received precious and actionable feedback and have rapidly begun to make connections to more and more people who have expressed interest in our applied improvisation based disaster management program.

In the next few days we will be rolling out the program to firemen and policemen, a tribe in the rainforest, an airline crew, local government officials, teachers and finally to a community in Typhoon Haiyan hit Leyte.

Just wanted to share the excitement of what we are discovering as we improvise our way through this program.

Thank you to AIN for making this wonderful collaboration possible!
