Reframing
Flexibility, the ability to pivot, is a terrific skill to have on stage and off. Today, we look at reframing as a way to that.
Doubt
If your audience - be that your scene partner(s), the people watching, or the chap at the dinner partner - is in doubt as to your intentions, the way forward will often be more difficult for you.
Why You Need Status
Status is great in comedy and in real life. You likely use it all the time and don't even know it.It's one of those things that once you see, you see everywhere. Once you understand it, it'll make your life much better.
My Character Wouldn't Do That
Remaining open to 'who' your character is, what they stand for, what they love, what they hate, and more, keeps you open and alive to your audience (on stage and in the real world). You can be flexible, surprise yoursel...
Say Less, Seymour
Listening as a gateway to presence and reduced self-consciousness.
Mistakes? We Don't Need No Stupid Mistakes
Mistakes scare the crap out of us, but they're usually only as bad as you think they are! They have wonderful upsides.
In The Beginning
Starting a scene is one of, if not the most, difficult and critical things in improv. I discuss two of the ways to begin scenes and reveal my favourite!
The First Improv Rule for Life - Control What You Can Control Ep 4 Repost
In this week's episode Ralph talks about one reason everyone should take improv even if they never plan to get on a stage. In improv, you can roleplay different scenarios from your real/imagined life but also practice te...
Letting Go of Self-Consciousness
Falling in love. Hanging with good friends. Being in a moment. These are all times when we tend to lose ourselves, get over our self-consciousness, and forget about our selfish needs and serve an experience.
Avoid Gaslighting Others
Whether on stage or in life real, try not to gaslights others. In improv, it often leads into the argument trap. In life, it escalates tension, shows others you're not listening, and more. Instead, treat the opinions o...
Playing Strangers
Scenes in which the characters are strangers to each other come with an extra added level of difficulty. For that reason, I encourage improvisers to stay away from them. But, when they do happen to try and figure out w...
The Process Scene
Having a process in a scene will help in a multitude of ways, however, there are also a couple major pitfalls with which to be aware.
I Am A....
A discussion of the third exercise I use when starting almost every class I teach. I Am A... is a game of patterns in which three people are elements within a certain pattern, category, etc. The more recognizable the pa...
Improv Rule For Life #4 - Be Process Oriented
Being process oriented, or systems based, allows one to make modifications if their goals aren't being realized. Conversely, relying on magical thinking to achieve a desired outcome can leave one at the mercy of a stocha...
Is Mocking Some People Okay or Not Okay - REPEAT Episode 8
Improv has changed a lot in the 35 years since I started. One thing is that we are much more sensitive to people different than us and no longer mock people based on generalities about them. However, two areas have escap...
Dissonance in Comedy
Dissonance is a powerful tool that can grab your audiences attention and make them laugh whether that's on stage or at a dinner party.
The Actor/Character Duality
When in scenes, there is the actor and the character the actor/improviser is portraying. Sometimes, their goals are aligned but often they are not.
Why Is This So Boring?
There are many reasons a scene, or interaction, may be boring. Here are the top two reasons why scenes can be boring and make you want to gouge out your eyes.
Don't Stop The Action
Stopping the action, or business of the scene, is generally destructive for a number of reasons. Even if your character doesn't like what they're doing or being asked to do, finding a justification to let it happen, wil...
