Comedy
There is no substitute for the skills and character (pun intended) developed from performing improv live on stage. Fielding audience suggestions and quick instructions and pivoting to immediately creating a dynamic scene that’s emotionally engaging and side-splitting funny has taught me to trust my instincts, forgo inhibitions, absorb every bit of information around me, and disregard the threat of failure. I have become a more intent listener and love working with a team to develop something uniquely creative.
It's not about perfectionism but taking action. One must accept the information given and offer an idea lest the scene lag or deflate. In comedy, timing is key and requires patience as well as confidence to step forward to be the star or humility to know when to step back and let others take the stage. The goal is to do what will best serve the scene and the team.
Improv has been one of the most difficult things I’ve ever done in my life and one of the most rewarding. The feeling of being fully connected with your scene partners on stage in front of a packed house while everyone is tearing up with laughter because of something you have played a role in (big or small) is one of the best feelings in the world.
