Well today is off to a great start!
This morning, our friend Kate Grace posted an interview with Jay on her terrific blog A Bit of Grace. Part of her “Artists I Admire and You Should Know About” series, Kate’s interview takes a in-depth look at Jay’s artistic background, his creative process as an improv performer and the inspiration for Biprov. Want to learn what makes Jay tick? This is a great place to start! Here’s just a brief excerpt:
Tell us about Bizprov – where did the inspiration for Bizprov come from?
Bizprov emerged from requests I kept getting from former students to come and lead improv workshops with their office teams–often just for holiday parties and such. I’d done corporate improv-based training work for years, and I’d always wanted to be a consultant on my own, so things seemed to fall into place. My partner Chip is an MBA and he had some terrific ideas about strategy and marketing, and it was off to the races. We became obsessed with using improv to stimulate creativity, collaboration, and communication skills. When it clicks with clients, it’s as fun and rewarding for me as performing a strong, funny show. I’ve also discovered that I’m a pretty ambitious businessman, though running this business remains highly improvisational!
