Quote Prompt: Opportunity

Topic: Improv  Goal: Create a new and amusing scene using a quote. Prompt: Use this quote to prompt your improvisation:  Life is opportunity. What we believe can uncover -- or cover over that opportunity. What you believe is up to you. Coaching: Create distinctions in the characters. Who sees opportunity in the darkest situations? What kind of situation are you creating? In the improv, find problems that you can solve together. Try turning conflict into collaboration.  

Here We Are

Here we are -- until we go someplace else. That is always up to you. Improvise a new direction. Imagine a better beginning. Plan a wonderful close. Go, go, go! Here we are -- until we go someplace else. -- doug smith  

Visualizer: Stare to Create

  This is a visualizer. Practice your vision, provoke your creativity, delight your senses by staring at this with clear, fresh eyes. Let the visualizer see you as you see it. Relax. Breathe. Take your time in allowing a story to form.  The image will speak to you when you take your time, and it may tell a different story each time you look at it.  I'll share many of these visualizers, frozen moments in time in a universe that never freezes that honors only constant motion. Artists sometimes (you, and I) take that motion and freeze it long enough to glean some meaning, some spark of wonder, some fabulous fable of life. -- doug smith
