   Mischief Managed Episode 47 - "How We View Improv as Permanent"

   In art form that is so temporary, we have a tendancy to view aspects of it as permanent.  We think an improv team will last forever, or take classes with only one person... improv is organic. It stops, and starts. If you need to take a break, go ahead. If you want to switch teams, go ahead.  If you want to change the style of your team, go ahead. The practice and study of improv is as ethereal as the show.  Allow your journey to ebb and flow, like your improv sets.

   Mischief Managed Episode 46 - "Leadership"

   I did a study for fun. I looked at communities and how communities interact with one another like organisms in an ecosystem. This is a portion of that ecosystem when talking about "leadership."

   Mischief Managed Episode 45 - "Rediscovering Listening"

   How many improv workshops deal with "listening?"  Like a ton of them. One of the issues we have with online improv is that the skills we used to use in person (observation, peripheral vision, etc) we can't use in online improv.  Online improv is different - and it should be. It should have the same differences as a live play to a movie. I talk about rediscovering listening, and how odd it is that some improviser are so resistent fo evolve.
