Tired of wrestling with AI?
Ready to dance with it instead?
Monday • 6:00 PM PT • 90 Minutes on Zoom
Creative Professionals & Educators who want to explore AI as a collaborative partner rather than just another tool
Anyone Feeling Overwhelmed by rapid AI changes who learns best through hands-on exploration rather than technical manuals
AI Practitioners seeking fresh perspectives on human-AI interaction through creative collaboration
No prerequisites. No pressure. Just experiential learning.
This isn't a workshop—it's a creative laboratory. No slides, no lectures, no "productivity hacks."
Instead, you'll learn to work with AI using time-tested improv principles:
🎭 Treat AI Like Your Creative Partner
Move beyond "user vs. machine" to genuine collaborative creation
🎯 Transform Your Prompts with CROW
Character • Relationship • Objective • Where
Turn basic requests into compelling, contextual conversations
🎪 Embrace Productive Mistakes
Discovery happens in experimentation—there's no "perfect prompt"
Co-creating stories where you and AI build narratives together scene by scene
Brainstorming sessions that blend human intuition with AI's vast knowledge
Writing experiments like crafting songs, poems, or marketing copy as creative partners
Problem-solving improv where AI becomes your thinking partner for real challenges
Small group exploration (limited to 12 participants per session)
Interactive exercises that blend improv games with AI tools
Real-time problem-solving with your actual AI challenges
Community of practice where curiosity trumps expertise
When? Carefully selected autumn Mondays, because even improvisers love a little structure.
