As we continue talking about the move towards getting back to improv in real life, what will happen to online improv? To begin with it was a stop-gap for most, but one year in, it’s fostered an international community that isn’t going to go away. So when we are back doing shows in real life, where does online improv fit?

The Future Of Online Improv

The Game Of The Scene is one of the more debated improv concepts. Part of that debate has focused simply on defining what we mean by ‘the game of the scene’ and part of the debate has been about its usefulness or necessity. This episode we explore definitions of Game and hear from those who use this tool and those who don’t.

Exploring The Game Of The Scene

What happens when you get stage fright and how have some improvisers overcome it? This episode features personal stories about how people have overcome their own anxieties about performing at a time when some others are feeling nerves for the first time.

If you are experiencing any sort of anxiety in relation to going onto the stage, do talk to someone about it. I hope this podcast is helpful but please remember, if you need advice on your specific situation, do see a professional.

When Improv Means Business

From time to time, many (if not most) improvisers find themselves stuck inside their head and thinking too much.&nbsp;How can we identify when it is happening, and how can we moderate any negative impact it might be having on our performance.

Getting Stuck In Your Head

How much do external factors like the space we play in or the audience have an influence on what we do on stage as improvisers - and how much impact should they have?&nbsp;Three improvisers from three different countries give their thoughts on the impact of the audience, the spaces they play in and how much attention we should pay to that.

A Tale Of Two Improv Places

Slowly, gradually, in some parts of the world, live shows are coming back. For some performers it’s their first shows back in front of a live audience in 16 months. That sort of gap between shows is something many improvisers never thought they’d have to face and it’s meant a whole big mix of emotions.
