FAQs about TEAMprovising^™  

How can I create TEAMprovising for my staff?

Just contact us at the phone numbers or email on the contact info link found on this page and many others.

IMPROVentures is San Diego-based, but options for teaching elsewhere are happily discussed.

Do you do workshops that aren't for work groups?

Absolutely. Sometimes the focus is a little different, depending upon your group.  The material is easily tailored to suit your social, religious, school, or other organization.  If you as an individual want to take a public class, just drop a note with all your contact info.

How long is the workshop?

This too can be tailored.  The complete IMPROVentures’ “TEAMprovising” class is generally offered in a one-day course (six hours).   Follow-up seminars are encouraged to keep the feeling alive. 

That being said, if you know in advance that your group can only do a certain number of hours (ie: you have a 3 or 4 hour time block one morning during a retreat), we're happy to discuss options for doing that as well. 

Who teaches “TEAMprovising”?

Classes can be taught by a single instructor (usually Milo Shapiro) or co-taught by Milo and one of several other excellent teachers from the San Diego area, all experienced in teaching the same forms. 

Co-teaching allows for more personalized attention in paired and small group work. Best of all, co-teaching allows for demonstration of exercises, rather than description. The lessons are more readily seen in demonstration, but either way can work effectively.

Can an individual or small group do TEAMprovising?

IMPROVentures occasionally offers classes to the public.

If this interests you personally or if your office is very small and you want to come but as a part of a bigger group, please let us know and we'll notify you about upcoming classes.  Be sure to include your full name, daytime phone, and company name, if appropriate.
 

What if this looks too goofy for my group?

Sometimes people are unnecessarily concerned  about this after seeing the very outgoing group in the video.

Your TEAMprovising team leader has learned the art of reading a group and tailoring the day to the energy in the room.  Customization occurs as we see how much your group likes being more or less physical, enjoys mental challenges, and reacts to subset work compared to whole group activities.

Rates vary by a number of factors, so it is not as simple as it would sound to publish rates.  Factors include:

- Number of attendees
- Number of hours together
- Distance your event is from our home base in San Diego
- Distance your event is from the closest airport (if outside SoCal)
- Number of support staff needed for larger groups

If you can provide as much of this information as is know when you first contact us, we can be better prepared to answer such questions in our first call.
