Improv and me
Last Modified: Sep 1, 2024
I started practising improv in 2018, and continue it today. I've done longform, shortform, been on a house team, I ran improv sessions for Leeds University Union for 3 years, one of which was entirely online. Presently, my biggest contribution to improv is being part of the organising comittee for Robin Hood International Improv Festival.
Improv fundamentally changed the way I made creative work. Maybe I will write about it more articulately at some other point, but here is an ongoing list of how it has made me a better creative:
- I am kinder and more open.
- I worry less about how to start.
- I embrace and utilise my mundanity.
- I play with form.
- I don't start with a script any more.
