As I set off, behind her, I thought, ‘This is it – this is eldership: it’s the end of striving.’

…Just imagine how much we can achieve when we stop striving…

that is yet another thing I love about impro – you can’t do it alone, and what emerges from the conversation between you and your collaborators (and your collaborators are multifarious- another performer, a fly buzzing across the stage, the sound of a siren in the distance….) is always more complex, more sophisticated, more meaningful than anything

if you haven’t got a script, you only have yourself, so you – the whole of you – has to show up.

You can’t leave the personal at the door, in the name of professionalism. You, the person, is all you have and all the audience want to see. And within the apparently irrelevant – the stuff you would rather ignore or dismiss - the most interesting storie

improvising is never a process of not planning anything. You make plans all the time – it’s impossible not to do so. Rather, impro involves growing comfortable with letting your plan go, again and again.
