I am predisposed to negativity; a problem that seems very common to people in #STEM. It's as if we are all constantly looking for mistakes and inconsistencies.
In #improv they have a game called "Yes, And". It's a great way to practice riffing off other people. You build off each other, and work together.
It seems that people here on the #Fediverse do the opposite; they play "But, No" or "Well, Actually". We pick each other apart and it sucks.
Petite #introduction vu que ce compte vient d'être créé.
Nous sommes une troupe d'improvisation amateur créée en Septembre dernier à #Paris. En 2024 on a commencé à faire des spectacles, notamment au #PianoVache, un bar dans le 6ème arrondissement, mais plus récemment aussi au #Kibele
On va annoncer nos spectacles ici mais toutes les informations (ainsi que les affiches de no précédents spectacles) sont disponibles sur notre site https://imprhorizon.fr
Tonight at 8:00pm, I’m guesting with the BATS Improv main company in The Bechdel Test at the Bayfront Theatre at Fort Mason. This original improv format created and directed by Lisa Rowland centers complicated female characters, examining their depths and dimensions both fascinating and mundane.
