It was just kind of like, they got really into like rock climbing or they got super into like, um, playing the piano or whatever it is.
And then in each one of these like skills or whatever, if you apply yourself to it, it's, it has like different lessons to teach you, you know, like, like learning a new musical instrument takes a kind of dedication and like,
like a commitment to practice that, for example, improv does not require, you know?
So yeah, like rock climbing requires a little bit of like facing like physical fears in a way that like improv is scary, but not like I'm going to fall off the rock way.
But you kind of know that you're actually not going to die when you are rock climbing.
You might actually die.
Yeah, I guess that's true.
So it's like, I think each one of these things, like, it's like pulling different parts of a potential version of you kind of out.
Like, your current personality is, like, interacting with this, like, craft or skill or game or sport or activity and, like, having that right angle on it versus, you know, when I have students who are, like, for example, they're, like, really obsessed with getting good.
It's actually really unfun energy to perform with.
Like, I just want to do it right, you know?

I'm going to, you know,
keep doing it and see how it goes like that actually turns into building a lot of skills pretty quickly um so there's something kind of nice about it that like we have this group task and the actual focus is not on like what i'm getting out of this what i'm supposed to be doing it's all on helping the group helping the moment helping the scene being present so that it can be successful kind of requires forgetting yourself in it which i think is like a really one of the active ingredients and like why this thing is fun and also like meaningful in a way that doesn't feel like um disposable
Yeah, I'm remembering a guy who used to perform at the theater who was like, he was like one of the worst actors I'd ever seen in my entire life.
But he had this incredible stage charm.
He was just like one of these guys that his action personality lacked that like sensor.
He was just like, it never occurred to him to not say exactly what popped into his brain, even if there was no possible way to justify or explain why that is.
And so it's like on paper, he would be like making the wrong choice, but it always felt joyful and fun.
And it was so fun to play with because you knew it was like authentic and genuine versus someone who's kind of like
