    Very nicely done Steve! I joined an improv troupe back in February and as uncomfortable as it's been for me, the benefits definitely outweigh the detriments. I find the attitude that we learn there reaches into everything else I do!

    Couldn't have put it more eloquently myself. I'm a big advocate of the importance of Improvisation in every day life and not just when treading the boards. I've shared this video out as it's so wonderful.
    Thanks

    Excellent!!!! I have watched this many times and learn something every time I watch it... I teach Improv in my Acting Class and encourage my students and their families to use it in every day situation... Thank you for such a great video... ;)

    "my idea, my idea - bam bam bam!" Excellent talk Steve! enjoyed hearing you speak (much like those few talks we had in the past) creative minds . . . there are no barriers for them. . . and it is not always good to edit someone else because your view point differs.

    You're a long way from Tower Players... great job, Steve. You are an entertainer by nature.

      Thanks! Clearly, I never knew this comments section existed until now ( I didn't post this video). I am quite a bit behind the times.

    Be aware of the situation, observe for the tools, integrate them based on your needs, Act. Simple.

    Solid ideas in this talk, it is a myth however that people don’t use most of their brains.

      That may be true. I don't have any data on that but I will need to look into it more. Thanks for the thought.

    Everything he says is on a book called "Improvisation for the spirit" from Katie Goodman.

      Alan, I have worked professionally in this art form in the past for many years. Many people who perform and teach this art form tend to utilize similar language and inevitably hit on some common themes. I have never read that book, which demonstrates the inherent commonalities of experience and insight that many improvisers share when they teach or dissect the values and integrations of the art of improvisation. It is quite common for people to write, teach, direct, and explain the art of improvisation from their own perspective and yet wind up having overlaps in perspective. But I appreciate you mentioning this writer, I love reading others' perspectives as well. Steve

      I never thought of that! That would be a hilarious scene - the guy who's trying to mug a millennial who can't hear him.

      @@stevematuszak1130 thats not what he meant, what he was saying is that the woman's microphone is too loud that it hurts headphone users, and it did hurt my ears for sure
