"Well, it's official: Your session for the MFA in Writing Program was a resounding, bell-ringing success! It's safe to say we've never gotten such universally positive feedback for any other arts event in our program's history. You could probably tell our crowd loved you by the laughs you got, but to quantify things, on our evaluation forms, your session received almost universal 4s (the highest rating).

Here's a sample of the feedback we received:

"Louisville Improvisors were a gift to us. Not only was it such a release of tension, which accompanies many of us at the residency, but an incredible learning experience. The presentation, with its emphasis on trust, became a metaphor for my own work and life. The follow-up session, which I could not even imagine doing, was yet another great learning experience on so many levels."

Many of our students expressed that they had dreaded the idea of actually performing improv but said the small-group session turned out to be transformative They came away with new insights into their own work and fresh ideas for revision. Writing is such a solitary business; you succeeded in opening up many minds to the possibility of approaching their work in a whole new way.

A thousand thanks!
