- Improv
For Creative Ideation: Creative Strategies for Marketers, Wannabe Ad
Creatives, Small Business Owners, Bootstrappers, and Anyone Else Who
Has To Be Creative Quickly
- A
half-day workshop, Saturday, July
21st, 10 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. Improvisational
comedians are adept at taking the seemingly banal and not
identifiably funny or creative ideas and — in real time —
collaborate seamlessly around them to mine them for unforgettable
comedic opportunities. In this workshop, team-taught by Kathy
Baird Westfall and Shawn Westfall, co-founders of The
Unified Scene Theater and seasoned veterans of global advertising
agencies with a combined 50 + years of experience, will show how
the strategies of improv — accepting, adding, facilitated
brainstorming, corralling around ideas to improve them and flesh
them out — can not only enhance your ability to be creative
quickly, but also to understand that you’re actually a font of
creative ideas. Register here!

intervals, and this workshop will give participants the opportunity

brainstorming, using writing exercises, and adding to their our
work. Participants may wish to come in with an idea or two they’d
