Stir Up The Drama



Drama enters upon our own invitation.

It is not inevitable. It is not automatic.

When we are creating an improvised scene, the most sure way of adding interest is to add drama thru conflict.

Say yes, of course, that's a rule in improv. But also say no. No to giving others in the scene exactly what they want because the scene needs drama. Just like in a game, in drama not everyone wins.

The only limits to love are the limits we impose from fear.
