Think Fast! Boot Camp for New Laywers

Date: Saturday, June 29, 2013
Time: Workshop 3:30 p.m.-6:30 p.m.; Show 8 p.m.
Location: Go Comedy! Improv Theatre, 261 E. Nine Mile Rd., Ferndale, MI 48220
Cost: workshop $10; show $5
Register: online or mail/fax form PDF

Registration deadline: June 26, 2013

This workshop focuses on teaching improvisational skills to new lawyers. It is based on the idea that new lawyers are often so nervous that they tend to over-prepare. As such, they are not prepared for anything that does not fall into their very-prepared script. The workshop will focus on Trust and Learning to Fail (i.e. - responding to an ruling in court that you may not have expected or wanted), and a concept that the improv world calls “Yes, and...” which involves working with answers (or rulings) that seem impossible or unexpected.

There will be a small informal dinner after the workshop for those who want to stay to see the show. The doors for the show open at 8 p.m., and this will be an opportunity for participants to see the skills they have just learned being utilized by professionals.
