The ImprovQuest cast
Each friend shows you one idea by how they act. Meet them all and see how the ideas fit together.
-
Give Yes-and / offer-acceptance — make-your-partner-look-good cooperative posture (the gift-orb metaphor) -
Hark Listening — receiving-before-responding discipline (the answer is in what your partner just said) -
Don Character work + physicality — body-finds-voice, find-ONE-thing approach -
Lay Scene-building + narrative — patient platform-before-plot foundation-laying (who/where/what/why) -
Leap Risk-tolerance + commitment — leap-and-the-net-appears; worst-commit-beats-best-half-commit -
Ache Emotional truth (playing a real feeling so the scene lands) -
Ground Justification (giving every choice a reason the audience believes) -
Mime Object and space work (making an invisible object real through consistent handling) -
Poise Status (how high or low a character carries themselves shapes the scene) -
Steep Heightening (raising the stakes of the one unusual thing, step by step)
