Hi, I’m Abhimanyu (Abhi). U’ll get to know more about me in links provided in this article... but first, I have a question for you!
Do you remember playing games as a bachaa?
At birthday parties, in the park, the school playground? Play areas and games are almost always connected with being kids.
What happened now?
Just because you need to earn money, take care of your kids and parents, and file your taxes, you stopped playing?
What if I told you that you can play adult games?
Dirty mind!.. I mean games that take you from adulting.. back to the freedom you felt as a bachaa. And what if I told you these games will also help you ‘do’ adulting better?
You can think quicker, enjoy solving problems, become naturally relaxed and creative…. and even sell more.
INTRODUCING….. drum roll —> IMPROV COMEDY.. it’s like ‘jadoo’ that will melt your stress away. Use it to reinvent yourself and your work!
So, what exactly is improv?
Simply put it’s like theatre except… it’s unscripted.
You (and other improvisers) get on stage in front of an audience just like in regular theatre, but you get to know your act AFTER you get on stage. Your audience decides that.
In regular theatre, the writer, director, and actor do their parts separately before the performance. In improv, YOU are the writer, director, and actor. All at the same time. LIVE!!
What does the outcome look like?
It’s sometimes awkward and mostly funny, but the audience will admire you either way. You become a superhero just by learning how to fail.
If you're new to improv.. DON’T LET THIS INTRO SCARE YOU.
You just need to do a few ‘stupid-simple’ exercises to get all warmed up. It’s a laugh fest that finally falls together like puzzle pieces.
One 60-minute session will do wonders for your confidence and elevate everything else you do.
Even a single exercise can increase your personal influence and impact at work.. and keep you generally happy forever.
Here’s some homework since you’re becoming a child again: Introduce yourself to a stranger and ask about them. If you feel odd, that’s normal.. suck it up. Make sure you speak for at least a minute.
