MOLESKIN: When I tell people that I do improv, some folks say "oh that makes sense because you like to make jokes and are comfortable up front" etc. But in many ways those qualities make improv harder. A joke will usually just end a scene. Building a good scene is not about looking for the time to drop a pun or make a joke; it requires being super attentive to what your scene partner(s) are saying, and responding to just that. These things our scene partners say are gifts to us, things we can work with and build on. It takes listening really carefully and being present in the moment. That’s the challenge. Stay with exactly what your partner is saying, listen just to that, and respond. Don’t think ahead. Don’t plan a joke or try to be funny. Just attend to the moment. The challenge is to be present, right with our partner(s), whoever that is, and not planning our next joke or where we want to take things. #BePresent (edited)
