"Unconditional improv"
How much do you really care about your scene partner? Concerned with the idea that we know we want to embrace the offers of others, "Unconditional Improv" has a focus on our scene partner, listening, observing, endowing them, etc, BUT these are practical measures to emulate actually caring about them. They do work. We do end up caring more about each other, and focussing on each other, but we can also do a range of work that more directly and honestly causes us to genuinely care about our scene partners, our audience, and ourselves, so that practical skillsets like embracing their offers and endowing them will occur completely naturally by default. Unconditional Improv is a platform for good performance and for healthy group dynamics that influence good performance. The idea has arisen, because I realised that it was what I was doing myself in class and on stage when I am at my best.
