IMPROV DROP-INS FOR PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT: BEING PRESENT JUN 2026
**\*This is a paid event. RSVP on Meetup is not enough — to confirm your place, please complete your registration through our website. \***
In a working world that demands adaptability, clear communication and steady nerves, improv offers something practical: a way to train the mind to be more responsive, grounded and open.
These drop-in sessions draw from Keith Johnstone’s *Impro for Storytellers* and translate core improvisation principles into everyday skills. Open to all experience levels. Join one session or attend all three for a fuller progression.
##### **BEING PRESENT:**
Presence isn’t a performance trick — it’s a mental discipline. This session focuses on awareness, listening and genuine connection. You’ll explore exercises that build focus and help you stay steady under pressure, whether you’re working with clients, collaborating in a team or navigating daily life.

When only one remains, they are crowned the Maestro!

*“I was amazed by the courage of the newbies and the generosity of the more experienced players, supporting the newcomers with kindness and enthusiasm. I laughed at those funny epiphanies happening during the impro games, and I was truly impressed by the talent, the skills and the passion of the performers. It is definitely a great format also for the audience because of how interactive it is. Thank you Courtyard for creating a safe environment for storytelling in this city.” – Diane Patierno*

***
🗣️ **Languages in the Room**
🇬🇧 English · 🇫🇷 French · 🇪🇸 Spanish · 🇷🇺 Russian

We believe that emotionally mature, powerful, compassionate, and purpose-driven men will help heal some of society’s deepest wounds. We support the powerful brilliance of men and we are willing to look at, and take full responsibility for, the pain we are also capable of creating – and suffering. We care deeply about men, our families, communities, and the planet.

Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs.
In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling.
The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options.
