Last night was my first foray into the world of improvisation. Improv (as I am loathed to call it!) seeks to react to stimuli in the moment either through comdey, acting, singing or dance, usually discovering new areas that concioussly would never be discovered.
One of the key elements of Improvisation is to accept that the process doesn't always work, but when it does, the discovery is worth it. Its like making real gold out of commonal garden materials, that people see & use everyday, but don't always see the gold for themself. And its important to recognise & embrace that the process requires failure before there can be any gold.
With all of that in mind, the improvisation group have a motto which we embrace at the start of every session..."We suck and we love to fail!"
I somehow think we should all embrace that motto a bit more - not just if you have an idea but also in every aspect of life...
