Giving Notes and Feedback to Comedy Students - Part 3
from Your Improv Brain
NOTE: There is now a full resource and downloadable Guides and Worksheets on giving and receiving notes in improv. Find the new resource page here: https://improvupdate.com/notesNotes (feedback) can be confusing for some student performers because of communication differences. This episode discusses what teachers can do to help improve and resolve some of the typical communication issues around questions and notes.Why can’t a student just ask for clarification? That can be loaded in some improv cultures (for now), and as such it can put a lot of burden on some students. Classes can be structured to make this a bit easier for everyone, while also still maintaining structure and accounting for time limitations.Downloadable contentDownload the Free Post-Show Reflection Guide: Sent to your inbox when you subscribe to either newsletter (and added to the footer to each message if you're already subscribed).NEW!
