Today I was paging through my notes from directing and coaching improvisational theatre.  Here are some phrases that stood out to me.  Perhaps one could apply them to more than improv….

Stay Connected

Be Affected

Be either off or on–not in between.

If it doesn’t matter to you, why should it matter to us?

Let IT be what IT wants to be.

Support each other.

Say “yes” to yourself, dammit!

Have fun with each other!

Get to it.

Make discoveries from the inside, not decisions from the outside.

Open Up.

Always wear comfy clothes.

Trust your own impulses.

connected…..invested…..affected

Don’t make people crazy.  Join them.

PLAY

Less thinking and more being.

It’s going to be pretty hard to do anything if no one likes each other.
