Event Overview

MEET THE QUEST!

Curious to learn more about improvisation and how it can be applied beyond the stage to life, work and play? Want to experience Chicago in a completely new way? Then join The Quest and get ready for an insight-filled adventure. The Quest, Chicago Edition will introduce participants to improvisation and storytelling as a means of exploring, finding meaning in, connecting to, and understanding the city. What happens when you approach the world with an improvisational mindset? What insights are discovered, what stories are generated and what happens as a result?

The skills learned during The Quest and the insights revealed as a result are truly powerful. You need not have experience with improvisation; all you need is an open mind, a desire to learn, and a willingness to participate.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The Quest takes place in three parts: the workshop, the Quest, and the story sharing. During the morning workshop, you will learn what the Quest is and how to do it. Then you will go out on a Quest, and finally, we will get together, and share stories about your experience.

The workshop will begin at the Berger Park Cultural Center and we will reconvene at a nearby location which will be revealed at the workshop.

WORKSHOP DETAILS:

Workshop size is limited to 16 participants. Please register early to secure your space!

Lunch will not be provided but there will be time to get lunch.

Because part of the workshop takes place outside (when you go off on your Quest) please dress accordingly and take into account Chicago's ever-changing weather. The Quest will take place rain or shine!

The workshop will be in the sunroom.

MORE ABOUT YOUR HOST

The Human Imagination Project

In 2012, Jeanne left her lucrative career in academia and heritage conservation to pursue an equally lucrative one in training, storytelling, performance, improvisation, and writing. She has told stories, produced, emceed, and done improv in all sorts of places, some sanctioned, some not. In 2014, while living in Hong Kong, she made it official and established a small company, Lamb Ink. She has since performed, presented, facilitated, and conducted workshops and trainings in North America, Europe, and Asia. Ms. Lambin's workshops have been described as "amazing," "powerful," and "great fun." A common thread through all her work has been the desire to connect individuals, groups, and organizations to people, causes, and things that they care about and give them the tools that they need to take meaningful action and inspire change. She is Vice President of the Applied Improvisation Network, a founding member of Improv for Humanity, and Instigator-in-Chief of The Quest: Improv for Transformation. She recently relocated back to Chicago.
