The 7 Deadly Sins of Improv!

The 7 Deadly Sins of Improv!
Blocking: reject ideas and suggestions from other people (or yourself).
Whenever someone comes up with something, ideas or suggestions can be accepted or blocked.
You can create a simple block:
"You have beautiful hair."
"No, I do not know."
Or more complete block:
"Beautiful hair!"
"I have no hair."
Note that in the second example it was completely different from every aspect of reality they presented. It may seem like an exaggeration, but it happens in real life:
"Nice sweater!"
"It is not a shirt, but a sweater."
You can see and hear the blocks around you:
"I love you."
"Say it."
"You are OK.
"You must have something of me."

Wimping: Refusal to give information.
People are afraid to be precise and try to avoid judgment:
"How long have you been here?"
"I do not know."
By refusing to share your thoughts, opinions, ideas, and creativity, you guarantee that nothing will happen.
The same in life: if your boss, partner or friend asks for your opinion and refuses to share it, both will be blocked.

Screening: trying to convince others to come up with all ideas.
In another attempt to avoid sharing your own personal ideas, you can use questions to involve another person in all the ideas.
"Where we are?"
"Crazy at the mall."
"What should we buy?"
"New dress!"
"WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION?"
And immediately …
It is very common in discussions. A person asks many more questions. ("Where are you from? How old are you? What are your hobbies? What do you do? What is your middle name? What is your favorite group?") It starts to sound like an interrogation and the conversation is awkward and dies quickly. . .
You want fair trade, a balanced contribution. The point is, you don't have to worry.

Nausea: jokes at the expense of the scene.
Every time you make a joke that makes a scene less believable, it's outrageous:
"I shot you!"
"With a toy gun?" Laughing out loud! "
Leicester Improv is, of course, fun and entertaining. Is very good. And yet it can be much more. It can be personal, mobile and connected.
And that is only possible if you are willing to laugh. Many people depend on public acceptance. You cannot express yourself fully until you can free yourself from this need.
Again, there are people who cannot help but speak on a superficial and superficial level. Have fun. They never allow a conversation about what it really means to them and to others. They may even make fun of something very personal to that person and offend them.
On the contrary, many people are too serious and laugh more. They should be lighter, more fun, and easier to use. It is a balanced performance. The point is, you don't have to worry.

Coverage: Avoid precision.
Think politically:
"Why are you bringing me here?"
Good question! There are many reasons and they are all important. Some may go further than you think. In fact, there is nothing you can do …
This is related to uncertainty. When we fear failure, we don't want to say anything special because it will lead us in a certain direction, perhaps in the "wrong" direction.
Have you ever tried to decide where to eat with someone and it looks like this? "Where do you want to go?" "Well, where do you want to go?"
If you refuse to choose a restaurant, nothing can happen. If you choose only one restaurant, you will see how it looks. (You can still travel if that's wrong.) You learn much more by doing than sitting and thinking all day. (And you eat faster too.
Remember the old saying: "He who calls, wait, wait, wait, wait and wait …"

Building bridges: nothing to do.
I asked my students to describe the scene. It may take a few minutes. They wrap around the bushes. She leans in and sighs. They don't just say, "You were fired."
"Well, I have seen your presentation, and it is not the right place, which we would like. It is a little less authentic. There are also some questions that I ask you. I would like to say …"
People can have creative feelings, but generally they are not. They draw things because they are afraid of what they will do next. But it's really interesting to the audience when something happens. ONE
Do you just say what you want to say in your life? Or say to yourself, "Look, you've done a great job and I'm so thankful for how wonderful you've been with Jim recently.
Just face it and say it!

Cancel: delete the created idea.
It is a way to undo what happened and avoid the effects.
"Unfortunately, the flying saucers were terrible."
"Yeah Jimmy, but they were just part of your dream (So there were no flying saucers).
Another example is this.
"It's a tiger!"
I will give it away. There was. '' (The tiger lets go and disappears immediately).
This ensures that nothing is built because everything is removed immediately. If you are one of the improvisers, you are trying to swim in the sand in the water.
