My guest post for lauraroeder.com, “Improv Tips for Entrepreneurs”, dropped today. Use improv comedy skills to boost your creative output - even on your own!
Give it a read & let me know what you think.

I am teaching my GET PHYSICAL! improv workshop especially for iO Theater Summer Intensive students.
Friday, 7/22, 12pm-2:30pm. $20.
Contact the iO Training Center to sign up: classes@ioimprov.com or (773) 880-0199. Not a summer intensive student? You’ll get your chance in August! Stay tuned…
When plugged into the Improv Matrix we can do anything we want. So why are we standing in a line talking – again? From blocking a simple 2-person scene to creating full-cast spectacle, emotion will be our guide to creating scene work – that moves. Talk less, do more, go further. GET PHYSICAL!

Sooooo…this advertisement featuring my big head is up at a Chicago Northside CTA station near you.
Take your picture next to one of the CTA posters (I’ve seen them at Belmont and Fullerton stops) doing your best impression of me.
Send it to me at jayolson AT me DOT com.
I’ll select two winners* and give them passes to ComedySportz Chicago.
* Based on my own citeria. Probably ones that make me laugh most. Go nuts!
