It's a game that, when applied to the great stage of life, keeps us actively in the ping pong match of response-ability. We understand that the "and" is all important because that is where our offer lies. However, "Yes, and…" has a sister game: "Yes, but…" which is a game of accepting and blocking. Unfortunately in life, many of us unconsciously default to "Yes, but…" And in improv as in life, whe...
