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.

Quote Prompt: What You See

Topic: Improv Goal: Create a new and amusing scene. Prompt: Use this quote to prompt your improvisation: What you see in the mirror is not what the world sees. Coaching: What do you hope to see? Why would anyone see anything else? What are you afraid others might see? How do people decide what they see about you? What does one character in the scene want that they cannot have?

Smile

A smile can stop ten sad thoughts from filling your mind. -- doug smith 1. I started to type "smile" in the title and my fingers somehow typed "Smith" instead. That makes me smile... 2. Yes, this is related to improv. When we help other people smile we're building some part of a better world. What fun! 3. See how powerful improv can be? What if, in creating something new, we used that same quote but featured this picture: That changes things, right? Or we could get even darker: Because improv is not all comedy, or does not NEED to be all comedy or sunny and light. Although, sunny and light is nice so here's another nice smile for you. Now, go make someone (and yourself) happy: smile!

Scene Prompt: Status

Status is in every scene. People jockey for the top spot. Conflict spins out of the struggle to be recognized, to be in control, to win. Improvise a scene using this prompt: The struggle for status inevitably disappoints. Have fun!
