Perfection is Impossible
I am here to learn and laugh, make friends and have fun. Listening is Everything I will listen to my fellow players, my teachers, and myself. Acting is Adventurous I will bravely face my fears, take risks, and trust my imagination. Yes, And--is Always Better than No, But-- I will be an optimistic player who agrees and builds scenes. Energy is Essential I will perform with all my might, one-hundred percent and then some. Relating is Accepting I will be confident enough to express my true self and accept all others who do the same. |

IMPROV WISDOM:
Why are you always in a good mood after an improv? It could be Interactional Synchrony. According to Psychology Today, Interactional Synchrony occurs "the moment individuals morph into a cohesive group...a coordinated group experience can be pleasurable and exhilarating. The satisfaction may be due in part to an energy surge." That's why you feel great and energized after a night of improv games. We are wired to enjoy connecting as a group! Thanks, science. |
