Kicking off our session will be Paul Marks, Beta Test Improv

Paul Marks has owned Briarcliff Hall, a private SAT tutoring service for students taking the college entrance exam, for the past 27 years.  He studied improvisation in Chicago from the very best instructors (some of whom have been finalists for Saturday Night Live). He spent several years researching and studying corporate culture, team building, and presentation skills to see if there was a synergistic relationship between his improv philosophy and the business world. Confident of the connection, in 2012, he opened Beta Test improv to teach the benefits of improvisation and right-brain thinking to corporations, including: Daimler Trucks, Wells Fargo, Ingersoll Rand, Duke Energy, Bank of America, and Panera Bread.  Last year Paul gave his first TEDx talk on this business improv relationship.
