Impro 2007: TEN DAYS WITH KEITH
JULY 16 - 25, 2007
This year will be the seventh of our summer schools, and the course is in Calgary where we can benefit from more reasonably-priced accommodation.
We're an hour from Banff National Park in the amazing Rocky Mountains, and just a couple of hours west of dinosaur country (and the famous Royal Tyrrell dinosaur museum), so it's probably worth staying on as a tourist. Impro 2007 begins just one day after the world-reknowned Calgary Stampede.
At nine days (plus a day in the mountains) this will be the longest course that Keith gives this year. This is your opportunity to spend a minimum of 40 to 45 hours with him (generally 5 hours per day).
TUITION
Registration: CAD $1,675.00
(registration fees include 6% federal tax)
If on the first day of the class, there are 15 paid attendees, each
participant will receive a $100 refund on their paid registration fee.
