Heeeey! Welcome! I love knowing these videos are helping. Let me know how you use the lesson, thanks for including me on your Journey.

Wanted to think about this one. In either example, changing character or blocking, you are not the only one thrown, your audience will feel just as surprised and confused as you are. Here, what you want and what the audience wants is to stay grounded and hold onto anything solid (relationship, environment, point of view, object ect. ) that you have already established for yourself in the scene. THAT is your gift to you and to the audience, returning to what has been established. In doing so you'll find direction and your audience will follow. Thank you for asking and Let me know what happens next!

The "AH AH"! YES YES YES!

AB! SA! LUTE! LY! It can really take a lot of courage to do so, but the Improv stage is a great way to practice!

YES! more to come stick around!

Truly is my pleasure. I hope it helps. If it does, let me know so I can cheer for you!

I hope its a big sideways under the arm bowl of it!

Yes! Yes yes! When we all do this, our play slows down just a bit, giving us time to respond. I know that's blasphemy for some, but truly, it's like anything, it takes practice, as soon as you get better at it, your play will pick up again if thats what you want, but you'll have this new depth of play and listening and responding.

It really is exciting to know that you are getting fun and benefit out of these! Keep watching, there is more to come!

Amazing! Thank you Kat for stopping by the channel. We are doing so much to keep it going. Classes coming soon. It makes me feel so good that the work has grabbed you! Thanks again!

Siddharth, Thank you for reaching out! I hope your Improv journey is going well overall. I’m so happy to have popped up in your feed. What a complex question, I love it. Taking risks can mean so many things for different people. For those who don’t get on stage first it can mean doing that. For those who always start scenes, taking a risk can look like waiting (and trusting) for someone else to start the scene. You asked “Does taking risk, imply making much more imaginative choices?” You Said “Please share a couple of examples” -If you (you Siddharth or you, the reader) tend to enter scenes playing characters that are not too far from yourself, a bolder choice or “taking a risk” might look like entering the scene with a body posture that is very different from how you move through the world and sticking with it the entire scene. -If you tend to do a great job supporting other people's ideas on stage a bolder choice or taking a risk might be making the first offer or knowing the answer. Instead of saying I don’t know or “what do you think” try “ I know exactly [what it is/ what to do /where we are” or “I think that…” Taking risks does not always mean having the MOST imaginative offer, not everything needs to be “look at that Dragon” or “Oh no we’re out of oil for our time machine.’’ Taking a risk or making a bolder choice looks like taking a look at what you ALWAYS do on stage and doing something different. Consider your own character choices, the way you tend to support scenes and the thing you are most comfortable doing on stage. Choose one of those things to practice with. In your next rehearsal make an effort to do that thing very differently. It’ll feel a little scary, but that is precisely what taking a risk is. I hope this helps at all Siddharth, tell me how it goes, I am rooting for you!

@@ShannonStottImprov Thank you so much. What a brilliant way to explain, this is a Godsend. I am going to have a look at what I do ALWAYS and try and do something different. From the top of my mind, I usually play low status characters, probably because it is natural. I will be more aware and try to choose high status characters and observe it. Thank you once again.

Meshenka, thank you for reminding me that there are different improv rituals all over the world. You said "We do have our rituals which convey the feeling of togetherness and got-your-back-ness", would you mind sharing what they are. What are some things in general that make you feel connected before a show. Thank you for watching and engaging!

@@ShannonStottImprov One of the things we did was, after the warming-up was done, we'd put our hands over each other's shoulders so we'd make a circle and do a little dance. Slow at first, picking up in speed. A bit of a mix of Zorba, the greek Dance, and a russian dance. It would speed up until we'd reach a crescendo and we'd end on a high note. Without words, we shared that moment in the circle together. Even if we didn't actually say 'I got your back', it did feel like it.

We say: hey, I'm going to let jou shine today. So if everyone says it to everyone, imagine how shiny the performance will be :-D

Thank you much Rich. I was proud to have this conversation. Share the video with people you think might need to see it!
