I would do that again if I if I did that.
That sounds great.
I think that's part of also what it's like, it feels like kind of meaningful silliness, you know, because it's, it's a collaborative thing, not like a, the kind of like silly jokey thing that feels like unfun is like talking to someone and it's like, they're trying to take everything you say and like be funny, you know, and do a bit and it's, it's kind of intolerable, you know, because it's not really like a genuine engagement with you.
Versus this sense of kind of playfulness where they're there and engaging with you, but they're just seeing the world with a playful eye.
And, you know, pretending to be a gumball sheen that was alive would probably not be very fun if I was doing it with a bunch of people who acted like what I was doing was so lame and stupid.
But you're doing it in this context where everybody else, I'm sure, I don't remember that show, but I'm sure they were all like, this is great.
And they like built around it.
And so it's kind of like you learn over time that like, one, like the confidence and the lack of
Self-criticism, I think, is actually what the audience is engaging with.
They want to watch you guys play in this fully present way.
And also, you're freed up to do that through the support of it.
I don't know that I have it in me to do that by myself, to just be... You know people have your back.
And they're going to make whatever you do look good.
It just creates this huge space where you actually feel like you can't fail or it's kind of like not even on you to figure out like why it's good.
It's like other people are going to do that job.
And I think that that's a huge part of it is the like rapport and the trust and like the corporate term of like psychological safety.
I think that that is like a lot of what improv is building.
Yeah, it is really nice to be in a supportive context.
I remember going back to my college improv team, like reunion show.
And there are a bunch of folks there who I had improvised with when I was a freshman and they were seniors.
