Do Your Chores

I’m Michael Bradt for The Bit Theater. No matter how much you love improv, there are likely going to be times that it’s going to feel like a bit of a chore. Whether it’s the thousandth time that you’ve warmed up with “Big Booty,” whether you always hit traffic coming home from your Friday afternoon class, or whether you feel like you’re spending more time managing personalities than you are improvising, it’s possible for improv to feel like a grind. When you find yourself in one of those times, focus your thoughts and energy on the things you love about improv, and see the improv chores as exactly what they are. Chores that need to be done. 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.
