  • In Improvised Scenes there are tons of conflicts! Saying Yes does not mean anti-conflict... Am I right? There are internal conflicts, and external conflicts, but accepting these situations in the scenes (saying yes) we build a conflict that is agreed upon and added upon by our fellow players... so I believe acting is acting is acting. As much in scripted as improvised.

  • He may know what he's talking about when applied to working with a script, but clearly doesn't understand improv theatre or it "golden rule"!

  • I liked your book, Stephen.

    But honestly, you don't seem to have a clue about modern improv theater.

  • @RichieAlan You're right. (oh no, I'm agreeing with you, it'll seem like we're proving his point..)
