Good improv is a spiritual experience. It touches down to the core, where you and the character become one. There is no more separation between actor & character, your choices become theirs, their choices become yours.
Good improv fulfills the actor, you walk away fully satisfied, knowing more about yourself, your character and the relationship to the other character.
Good improv is truth on stage.
Good improv will have you asking "What just happened?" because you are so in tune that you just live purely in the moment. Only after trying to remember are you actually able to reflect on what just happened.
Good improv should be uncomfortable at some point. If you're not uncomfortable, you aren't letting enough walls down. But after that comes the pleasure, the pure ecstasy that comes from letting yourself just be there, not knowing what's coming next.
Good improv keeps you wanting more.
God how I love a night of good improv!
