Celebrate and Mourn

I’m Michael Bradt for The Bit Theater. Give yourself one hour after a show to celebrate your improv successes and mourn your improv failures. Don’t dwell on the highs and lows that come with either outcome. Congratulations on the good show, but don’t pat yourself on the back for too long. Sorry about the bad show, but don’t beat yourself up forever. Allow yourself one hour to digest, analyze, and break down your show after it’s done, but don’t obsess beyond that. Learn from your successes and/or failures, and then move on to the next one. That’s your improv tip for the day. If you have a rehearsal, class, audition, or show tonight, break a leg, and I will see you next time.
