Really, Really Active Listening - with Rick Andrews

Really, Really Active Listening - with Rick Andrews
Almost every strong choice on stage can be traced back to listening -- listening to your partner, and listening to the choices you've made in the scene. Great improvisers take every small moment, look, gesture, word choice, tone, pause, movement and use it to intuit even more of their scene partner's headspace. Not just what could be true, but rather: what do I think my partner thinks is true? The more we hear in every moment, the more powerful our scenework gets.
