IMPRO

-Performing without preperation, responding to the moment of our immediate environment
-there are no mistakes
-listen
-say yes, and
-listen to your inner voice, you ideas are smart and good enough
-don't use your mind too much
-use your body
-use your memory,colour, tastes, shapes, experiences
-use props
-use your voice: loud or soft and timid
-use music
-put all your attention to the partner
-The best ways to go are to stick to your character, stick to the story that is being told, and to stay within the reality of the scene you are playing.
- You can look good if you make your partner look good
- All too often, I've seen players enter a scene and I can just tell they have some really great idea about the character they are going to play or an idea they want to do. This is wonderful, but guess what? Your partner probably has absolutely no idea what's cooking in your evil little mind, and so has no idea how to react. And no matter how brilliant your idea might be, it's practically worthless if the scene as a whole goes bad.
