Ah Finally! I've been so excited to get back into teaching and coaching. I enjoy it so much and it really brightens my day to see people just enjoying each other. That is an awesome thing about improvisation. It's one of the few times you'll see a group of strangers enjoying and cheering for each other within minutes of the class beginning.
It's a beautiful positive thing to be a part of. I enjoy the immediate family and friends vibe you build in an improv class. If you didn't grow up in Miami it can be hard to make new friends but in an improv class you do it almost immediately. You spend time smiling and laughing with some folks once a week. You end up making friends instead of choosing them. It's genuine. It's a real connection because in improv the people you enjoy most to perform with and watch are the the ones who can find a real connection with you on stage.
When we put on the posts that Improv is for Everyone, I truly think that. There is not one person in the world who would not benefit from being better at embracing their fears and trying new things. All day we are calculating things. Calculating what time to get to work. Calculating what to do next at work. Calculating what to make for dinner. Calculating how long it will take to do every thing. So much thinking and that is fine. We need to think and we need to plan to live. That's fact.
We also need to connect in a real way. Enjoy our Co workers and family members more. Smile at strangers more and say hello. Break our own physical barriers down. Break our emotional barriers down. Enjoy working as a team more. Enjoy life more by connecting with the world and people in it.
That kind of open connection to find the joy in other humans and ourselves is what we all live for. We spend years of our lives trying to amass money so we can eventually have free time to spend ENJOYING life. Why wait so long to start enjoying life and the people around us? Do it now. Dance now. Play now. Improvise now because connecting with others will bring joy to your life.
I love this. I love people that love this. I love people that can put their ego aside and really connect with another person.
I truly believe if everyone would improvise the world would change. So let's make Improv for Everyone. Take a class and join our family. The Villain family. We bring the joy and the laughter. One day I hope to perform with you and make a real connection with you on stage and in life.
