While improv will get easier, it can be difficult to learn. Don’t fight the lesson. Try to incorporate it into your play, but be gentle with yourself. It might take some time to learn a new idea.
That’s not a bad thing, because it means you’re pushing yourself, overcoming limitations and ultimately gaining more skills. You’re in that montage sequence in a movie when the student is leveling up their ability for the big fight….or…in our case…the big “yes, and“ opportunity.
After a lesson don’t hesitate to admit it was hard. Ask your teacher questions, they want to help you. And, remember you’re not alone after an improv scene. Someone else in that group has the same question you do, and they’re quietly grateful you have the courage to ask a question.
Keep pushing. You got this!
Have a great day!
