Using Improv to Save the World

I had the pleasure of chatting with Belina Raffy (Maffick Ltd) and Andy Middleton (TYF Ecosapiens) last week. Both Andy and Belina use Applied Improv in their work and that is one thing I share in common with both of them. Below is a link to the entire conversation (minus some incoherent ramblings by me … it was past my bedtime!).

I first heard about Andy through a Skype chat Rob Poynton a while ago when he mentioned the link between Biomimicry and Improv – this got me excited! Then 6 months later I met Belina at the Applied Improv Network conference in Portland (OR) in November last year where she hosted a Biomimicry-Improv session! How’s that for ‘meant-to-be’!

The inspiration for this skype call and podcast was this discussion thread that Belina started at the Applied Improv Network site – Using Improv to Save The World: What’s that mean to you? This discussion thread is well worth a read as it sets the tone for some of our ramblings in the podcast. Enjoy!
