Give me three words. I'll blog about them tomorrow. I promise.
What's going on? I'm reading Improv Wisdom: Don't Prepare. Just Show Up by Patricia Ryan Madson. And I need you to help me. So toss some words into the comments section. That'll be what I blog about. Eeeeeek!
Here are some ideas from the book:
"When speaking in public, don't use a script. Write down questions and answer them."
"Change the location of a familiar activity." She (Madson) tells her students to: "Find a new place or different vantage point in the circle."
From the chapter called "Be Average": "What is ordinary to you is often a revelation to others."
"Life is all about balancing, not being balanced."
Oh, and if you want to get in on the improvisation of a group poem, go join the renga fun at The Miss Rumphius Effect.
Poison Ivy and Treehouse!
ReplyDeleteWell, I love this idea. I'm definitely someone who needs to learn how to improvise more.
