Welcome to the house!
Hello, fellow improv nerds. Lots of times, people in my classes or on the teams I coach will say to me, “That is so improv-nerdy! You should write an improv-nerdy book!” But I figured, a blog is even nerdier than a book, so here we go.
This blog is going to be super-thinky—lots of improv metaphors (including, for starters, connections to abstract art, mathematics, and sports, to name a few), lots of heavy-duty intellectualizing about this art form we all love so much.
Of course, in the end, every improviser needs to put all the thinking aside and get out on stage and play; but, in my mind, the more we think about improv off-stage, the more intuitive we become as performers when it comes time to make things up on-stage.
So, let’s get down and dirty and brainy and wonky.
This is the house that Del built.
