To be a successful improviser, you have to communicate effectively with everyone on your team. But what happens when people think, communicate, and experience the world differently?
In this episode, I break down the common causes of communication breakdown between improvisers, and why assuming everyone is on the same page can lead to invisible struggles and burnout.
Discover the single most important skill that allows great improvisers to perform with literally anyone, and learn a clear, four-step path to developing that skill yourself. This is about meeting in the middle, adapting your communication style, and building a stronger, more supportive improv community.
I also have an exercise in this episode you might want to try with your classes or teams. There are more details about the specifics in the Improv Update discord general improv chat channel. Or ask!
