Improv Advent #25

25 -

Merry Christmas everyone!

Ok great, that's done.

Now it's time for News Year's Resolutions

At least once:

  • Do something creative that scares the hell out of you (Solo show? Musical? Write a book?)
  • Seek out and play with people you wouldn't normally do a show with
  • Watch yourself on tape, take notes as if you were your own coach
  • Tell the people you love working with that you appreciate them
  • Get involved in something that interests you that has nothing to do with theater
  • Sit down, alone, and talk yourself through a few questions
    • Why do I keep doing this?
    • Who do I love watching and why?
    • What makes this important?
    • What would I say to someone starting out doing improv?
A few times:
  • Read a book on theater. Not just improv (but do that too). Acting, directing, history. Anything.
  • Go see non-improv shows
  • Make yourself take a break if you're never stopping
  • Make time to take a class or workshop
All the time:
  • Reach out to new people
  • Reach out to older people
  • Spread you love and enthusiasm
  • Be kind
  • Be honest
  • Be aware
  • Commit
  • Create

Also, stop going to Wendy's after 1 AM, you're going to regret it
