DAY THREE
As I keep taking classes at Second City, I am gobsmacked by how the lesson I learn can be utilized in everyday life. It's true: life is improv and improv is life.
LESSONS LEARNED:
IMPROV
- Whatever you say is perfect and awesome (tell that to my mom)
- You don't have to talk about your location → ex: Don't say something like, “Wow, Bob I'm so glad we're on our honeymoon 20 miles north of Deluth. Too bad about that bear attack that's happening right now.”
- Pauses can make a scene more alive. In fact, say less and often the scene will go farther.
- Build a scene one line at a time WITH your partner
- Get physical...let's get appropriately physical
- Yes, it is easier to say “no.” However, when you say “ok” to something you'll go places you never expected. We love conflict, but when you say “no” it's harder to get actually get somewhere and someplace.
- Saying “YES” leads to TRANSFORMATION
- Know your objective even if no one else does. Know what you need to get; play it; put it into all your actions.
