True Agreement and No More Bullshit

The most basic and over-taught tenet in improv is “Yes...And.” There are no rules in improv, but finding cohesion through agreement is more than your job—it’s your vow to the team and your duty to the audience. Players who negate and deny others (sometimes called “steamrolling” or “railroading”) are no fun to play with. We all do it. It will happen. No escape. The best you can do is get in the habit of agreement by practicing active listening, which means welcoming silence, paying deep attention and trusting gut reactions. The most important thing you can do is stay aware, keen, attentive, engaged and invested in the show at all times, following each other player’s endowments like they’re your own. In this workshop, I'll give you new ways to nail agreement in your scenes right off the bat. For anyone with any level of experience.
