Jordan Hirsch
I am an experienced technical strategist, technical project manager, and content management expert with a passion for music, politics, and performance.
I'm also an actor, musician, and improviser.
I am currently available for freelance and contract work - contact me to talk about your project.
My SXWS 2010 Core Conversation, Improv Lessons for Freelancers, was a huge success at this year's SXSW Interactive Festival. My wife (and fellow improviser and freelancer) Amanda Hirsch and I led a great discussion on what we can learn from improv comedy to enhance our freelance careers. The success of our panel was mostly due to the fantastic audience we had, who joined us not only in a thoughtful discussion on the topic, but also jumped right into some improv games with us.
Improv entrepeneur Zach Ward posted a great write-up of our session (including a video of me leading the "Yes Circle" improv game) on his blog; check it out!
UPDATE: "Improv Lessons For Freelancers" was voted a SXSW 2010 Audience Favorite!
