I don’t know exactly what Corey is doing with us (my team Slambot), but I think it’s working. We had a really open, honest rehearsal yesterday. We all played so comfortably and naturally, and it was really noticeable that we’ve all grown a lot as performers since we started together.
Corey is such a great coach/mentor, and really invested in all of us. My...

I think this type of question is more dependant on the team’s focus, and not the individual. I think the most important thing is that the entire team is playing in a similar fashion.

WatchAt this time of the year I like to remind people to drive safe, because there might be a monster in a wheel chair following you very slowly.
Pay it forward
Try to remember what you needed when you were just starting as an improviser. Try to remember those things that helped you get over some slumps. Remember the first time someone you admired as an improviser walked up to you and told you they loved a specific move you made during a show, even though you thought it sucked? Remember the first time someone you looked up to told you a story about how...
