Def reco improv L1 for everyone. Not sure you specifically need one labeled “for anxiety” but regardless, do it!

if your work is cheesy your improv probably will be too

highly reco taking an improv class or workshop. it will help you come up with ideas faster and more efficiently, and make you a better creative partner.

Can folks that loved their improvs in nyc share the names? Would really appreciate it!

Damn auto correct ! Hartney!

I tutor ESL after school and recently switched over to Zoom. Students are stating that they are unable to annotate. I’ve read that this is common for Chromebook users. Does anyone know of a way to bypass this and/or any video/picture tutorials? Otherwise, it looks like we’ll just have to add an additional open tab with a google share doc. Many thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide.

I made an offer to a candidate today. It feels really good to make that phone call and hear the other person being happy.

How do you create the visual direction of a print campaign for example? Is it generally just about creating a mood board that sets the look and feel? Should it be specific (as in drawing or illustrating) with the pose and the framing?
