GENERAL MEETING: "Quilting Fun: Innovate and Create through Comedy Improv" with Mel Beach (IN-PERSON)

Mel Beach

Many of the Fortune 500 companies located in Silicon Valley turn to comedy improv workshops to empower their employees and cultivate skills essential to innovation:  thinking fast on your feet, creative problem solving, taking risks, overcoming failure, active listening, and teamwork. 

Experience first-hand how improvisational games can advance your own creative practices and professional pursuits in this FUN, SAFE, and HIGHLY INTERACTIVE session.  Say YES! AND…to boosting your creativity, confidence, and communication through comedy improv!

A few GQCCC members can attest to the fun of this activity from their experience at the 2019 Studio Art Quilt Associates (SAQA) meeting in 2019!
