Ring around the improvisational rosie - Denise McInerny leads Retreat attendees and improv professionals in a series of round-robin exercises designed to release participants' creativity. McInerny recommends improve as a brainstorming and plotting tool, a way of working through writing blocks and whenever the creative engine just runs out of steam. In her seminar notes, McInerny explains: "When you purposely improvise, you give your subconscious the freedom to make the connections that drive your writing and energize your story." Local writers can get into the action at the Washington Improv Theatre and Ballston's ComedySportz.
