Mischief Managed Episode 36 – "Reminded of Courage"

from Mischief Improv · host David Escobedo

Had an epiphany while recording this. I talk about how the first third of an improv set should have confidence and not an anxious search for the plot. Writing a contract at the beginning of the show makes it "more comfortable" for the performers because then they have a more clearly defined scale of a "successful show." Did we do what we promised at the beginning? But usually those contracts are written by the more domineering members of the group.  Which means they typically are always setting the contract.  We are only hearing the stories they tell. Discover more.  The audience wants to see your struggle – not your struggle! They want to see your courage to carry on.
