“Giving Gifts” in Improv Comedy

An excerpt from a virtual improv class

The beginning of every improv scene is the part where people are most uncomfortable.

They are often unsure what to do as the details of the scene have not revealed themselves yet. (Sound familiar? This happens IRL all the time)

So why not jump out of the gate creating these details? Why not give these gifts to your scene partner? Why not come to every social interaction attempting to make the other person look good?

Improv teaches you how to take control of social interactions. How to maneuver them with charisma and confidence. This video is an excerpt from a Team Hell Yes improv class tonight where we discussed the act of “giving gifts” in scenes AND in real life conversations.
