Executives training is in high demand in Scottsdale. Executives are looking for new unique ways to hone in their training skills. Improv offers a unique opportunity for executives to learn and to training with principles that will open any executives mind and help them create new ways to training.

There are so many principles of improv that can be useful in the modern work place. One of those is, “Group Mind”, the idea that individuals can group together to create something better and then what an individual can create on their own is a fairly new idea, that companies have been using.

Another improv concept that executives have been using in the work place is the concept of, “Yes, and…” or agreement. The idea that scene partners should unconditionally agree with their other scene partners is easily transfered to the work place when your team is trying to work together.

Not only what is happening in a scene but also, who you are in the scene. Accepting who you are in a scene is much different then forcing your character on a scene. For example, if someone says to you in a scene; “You dirty rotten bum, I can’t believe you would steal from me.” You know two things, 1. You are a dirty rotten bum and 2. you stole from your scene partner. You natural tendency will be to deny that you are a dirty rotten bum because who wants to be a dirty rotten bum? Well, let me clue you in on something, just because you play a dirty rotten bum in a scene, doesn’t actually mean you are one in real life. Accept the gifts that you are given as reality and run with it.

Recently we were doing some exercises that focused on this, one scene partner entered a scene and the other scene partner was suppose to totally support that the other person brought to the scene. My scene partner entered the scene are said, “Hey chief, we need to get this engine working again.” I responded in my best indian accent because after all, I was called chief.

I say this a lot when I’m teaching improv because it is what makes a scene interesting to watch and participate in. This is what it means.

Improv consists of short scenes… even long-form improv consists of relatively short scenes (when compared to one life time). Each short scene is a moment in which players enter the stage and plays out a short snippet of another person’s life. The character you are playing lived before you played them and they’ll live on after you are done with the stage (in most cases).

The key is to make this a pivotal moment in the characters life. If your character has been picked on at school for years… this is the moment they stand up to that. If a husband and wife have been avoiding fighting about something for years, this is the moment that the fight reaches an apex.

An improv scene is not the time for avoidance… take scene themes and dialogue head on and make THIS a powerful moment in your characters life.

You don’t have to be funny… in fact it is best if you aren’t funny, or at least don’t try to be funny.

Why don’t you want to be funny…

The joke is one of the most abhorred things in improv, it is cheap, easy and often used at the expense of other performers and at the cost of the scene.

A joke is most often a anecdote that is unrelated to the scene that pulls focus from what the scene is actually about.

Avoid the joke by staying in the reality of the scene and following the principles of improv, agreement, listening, character and emotion.
