- When did you last make stuff up and mess about? Would you trust yourself in a work meeting without a pre-planned agenda? Improvisation skills aren’t just for comedians, musicians and theatre folk. Comedian and illustrator, John Cooper, shares how they can help us navigate our lives using better conversations.
Video production by Prism Studios, Warrington www.prism-studios.co.uk John is an illustrator and an improviser comedian. He believes in the power of improvisation skills to create conversation, help us make decisions, and navigate through life.
Since 2020, John has been focusing on building his reputation as an illustrator and teaching the benefits of improvisation for teams. If you know where to look, you can find him at comedy clubs in the guise of his character act, Danny Pensive.
John’s proudest achievement is successfully running a kickstarter campaign to publish his graphic novel ‘Distance’. The book is an illustrated diary of his life during the pandemic and lockdowns as it happened. He is an ambassador for Manchester Road Runners, an amazing bunch of folks who support social running for everyone. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
