And I Am NOT Lying at SXSW: From Basement Burlesque to the Boardroom

Saturday March 10, 2012 11:00am - 12:00pm @ Palm Park (Colorado) (750 E. 3rd street)

Storytelling is both the second-oldest art form and a hot "new" form of entertainment — thanks to This American Life, The Moth's podcast and live shows, and tons of shows cropping up around the country, storytelling's making a big comeback. It's making a comeback in the boardroom, too. And if we are honest with ourselves, it's just about to join "leverage" in the marketing d-bag's haggard sack of buzzwords. "Leverage storytelling to activate your customers," "learn story techniques," — you're going to hear a LOT of that at SXSW this year.

And I Am NOT Lying at SXSW: Basics of Comedy Improv Workshop

Saturday March 10, 2012 12:00pm - 1:00pm @ Palm Park (Colorado) (750 E. 3rd street)

Learn to open yourself up to sudden, new possibilities – and seize the potential from everything that's right in front of you. You'll learn the rewarding art of creative play, how to surprise yourself and yank your inner comic out of the closet. In this workshop, you'll learn how much fun it can be to say "yes" to everything, to stop being ashamed of your own ideas and to easily improvise a hilarious comic scene. Discover how letting go actually provides you with great control in seemingly crazy situations (applicable to daily life, guaranteed). Coached by Eliza Skinner.
