Six rules : 1. Say yes and.. (In order to move a scene along we need to accept each other's offers and we need to add to them) 2. Play , be silly , be weird , be creative (Be in the present moment , be mindful). 3. Learn to fail (It is an opportunity to create something magical). 4. Trust (our initial impulses , and trust others). 5. Be a team player while doing improv. 6. Live an Improv Life by applying these rules. Edit - Rule 3 is Actually about active listening.

Thank you for Listing the Six Rules !! But I think you missed "Active Listening" (which is actually number 3)

I like that she kept that same energy the entire time although the crowd was full of mutes.

Improvisers are not stand up comedians. Don't expect her to be one. She has no one to bounce off of, or yes and with...don't be surprised that she is "unfunny". Also, do you expect a coach to be the best athlete? No. Teaching and performing are two different things.

Yeah, I've seen this pattern from these improv guys... They preach it as something that'll make you more interesting and socially skilled, but I don't see it at all from them... Maybe if you were shy and uninteresting before then it makes things better, but they themselves tend to force situations or reactions for no reason, or there was this other improv guy on TED who was pretty unexpressive and not very engaging, his name's Tom Lovegrove, although the crowd was nicer to him thankfully... I don't think improv does much for you socially... it may be fun, but it seems all it does is trains spontaneity and teaches you to open up to failing in public and be less shy I suppose... But it doesn't train social skills at all, if you don't know how to read situations or people, then what improv does to you is make you force stuff with the most confidence because you don't know any better, which creates these kind of awkward situations... People encouraging you in improv classes makes it worse I assume, making the person believe they're being socially skilled when they're just trying stuff.

I am so resistant to this video. Takes her 4 minutes to get to the topic and then it is not well structured. Say yes and. Everything is very abstract. Trust. Team player, no man behind. Support everyone on team, have their back. Live improv by applying principles. Be OK being silly and trying new things and failing, trust self and each other. Whatever... no idea what she is talking about. Great enthusiasm though.

@yaboiavery5986 2 жыл бұрын

hi im late, but i get your frustration. When i found out i wanted to improve my creativity i was annoyed because everything seemed really irrational, abstract, just annoying, i wanted answers. But the thing is, that is what creativity is, if you were to view this with reference to the left/right brain thinking theory, it makes perfect sense. Creativity happens when you break routine, you find new ways to do things, and they become the norm
