As I continue to chip away at my larger history project I'm snailing away on, I'm going to start doling out some bite-sized posts all the way up to Christmas.
1 - Ben Hauck On Back Line Support
In long-form improv, the backline actor never directs the scene. The backline actor only describes a scene, and it is up to the frontline actors to figure out what the description might mean in terms of direction.
-Ben Huack in Long-Form Improv
The backline has a lot of power and a lot of responsibility. But you have to never forget that anything you add from outside of the scene should be in service of the scene as it is, not how you want it to be.
This can be tough when you're having fun and oh-man-wouldn't-it-be-great-if-instead.... stay strong!
