Weekly Improv Tips

Did you know that Malaria is 100% preventable? Yet, Malaria kills one million people each year; 85% are children under 5. On May 7th, 8th and 9th 100% of all Targeting: Improvisation With Purpose book sales, Skype Lessons scheduled or clinics booked will be going to help fight Malaria.

Week #49 is up on my blog today. This week's topic is on shapes and how we can use the shape of our favorite lines to build new ones. Check it out at http://jasonklobnak.com

Today is also the first day of our fundraiser to help fight Malaria. The response has been great so far! Any book sale, Skype lesson or clinic booked will be going towards buying mosquito nets for children. More information on our fundraiser is also up on the website.
