On November 19 Steve Portigal presented “Yes, My Iguana Loves to Cha-Cha: Improv, Creativity and Collaboration.” We’d like to thank our special guest speaker for engaging us in a relaxed, informative, and truly interactive evening of improv games that gave us fresh ways of thinking about our creative work. Steve did a fantastic job facilitating a nicely-paced mix of slide presentation, exercises with audience members, and subsequent group discussion in which the room was openly engaged. A lot of interesting and thoughtful ideas were exchanged.
We also are grateful to the good people of R/GA for hosting us, especially Chloe Gottlieb, VP, Executive Creative Director, Interaction Design and Courtney Buckle, Recruiter. Thanks to all of our amazing local volunteers who made the evening possible, especially MJ Broadbent who worked with Steve to develop the program and Jesse Wilbur who managed virtually all of the logistics at R/GA (including live streaming) while working on a major pitch that ran concurrently with our event. And last but not least, a big thank you to the brilliant IxDA New York community members who attended: your participation in the improv games and conversation really electrified the event!
