- It’s coming from the idea of “yes and” which basically means everything that is happening and is being said in the scene is true. No matter if you disagree with it, Don’t like it, It doesn’t matter because it has already been set in stone.
- You gotta accept it and move on
- This helps with giving everyone a source of Truth that is common among all people in a scene
- if you decide to ignore something that was mentioned while everyone is “yes and”ing, There will be a disconnect between you and your scene partners
- So how might this be applied to Conversations and speaking clearly you might wonder
- One thing that I used to do a lot and sometimes still do is: I would just jump to different thoughts without really thinking of how I sound or what other people understand. So it’s hard to keep track of what I’m saying.
- this is where Improv comes into play. I approached a Women in the gym coz I wanted to tell her she looks like Addison Ray. Because we were walking past each other I didn’t have time to think of something to say so I just blurted out “quick question”. When I said that, I had this brief thought of wanting to reset and start differently. Thankfully I didn’t do that because if I said something like “wait no I don’t have a question, I just wanted to tell you…” T would confuse her and make it sound scripted
- to follow improv techniques is to be human
