Right.

I could be anything.

I could be a giant red balloon.

I could be a gum machine.

I could be a gumball machine.

I could be a spaceship.

I could be a tiny little squirrel.

I could be a woman from 1835, right?

Like I could be anything.

And so what you have to do as the partner is to pay attention to how that person is defining themselves.

Yeah.

And if you don't.

And you just put a definition on them that is not true to what they've said in the scene.

It's you kind of like putting your preconceptions on them.

And you see this a lot of times where people like won't let, for example, like a female improviser, they won't let them play a male character.

And it's like, well, that is...

you bringing all your own crap into the scene rather than actually existing in the scene.

And I think that's like, that's where the beauty is, is like actually just seeing the person as what they are claiming to be and defining themselves as rather than your idea of who they have to be.
