Lessons people learned at OlyImprov Classes

At the end of last winter's beginning OlyImprov class, we had people play the game "Thirty-Five Things" to sum up the lessons that they took away from the class. Here's what they wrote.......

I Learned......

• Always make your Partner look good!
• I learned if I get out of my way, really cool things come through (especially if I'm not afraid of doing something "wrong"
• Playing games is the best way to learn.
• Everything can become a game.
• The best way to "win" a game is to make your partner look good.
• Fun-loving spontaneity is healing.
• It is OK to make mistakes and look.......RI-DIC-YOU-LOUS.
• When doing a sketch, really listen to your parnter so you can support them, use their ideas, respond to their offers.
• Observation is second only to listening when communicating with others. And to agree is better than to deny.
• To make the others look good.
• Stop thinking. Listen and react - improv isn't always funny but when you commit chances are it will be interesting and likely funny.
• Make your partner look good
• I'm learning how to say yes without planning.
• Speak before you think.
• Accept all offers.

People also recorded how they intended to apply their improv lessons after the class

The not necessarily funny improv class provides a safe and fun environment in which to explore the power of these ideas and of play itself. Drag yourself out of the cubicle, away form the TV set and the winter doldrums and give play a chance.
