Now we can add things here to talk about if we want to

I went to my first Improv workshop on Friday, February 4. It was a great experience and I finally got to see what Improv was all about. In particular there was one game that I enjoyed the most, the yes,but/yes,and game. In this game we were working in partners planning a party, one person would start telling the story and then the partner would continue the story with yes,and or yes,but.  The game really focuses on the words you are actually saying because if you are using yes,and, you need to have a continuation of what your partner was saying, in the yes,but, you need to contradict what your partner was previously stating. In other contexts we might not be so focused on what we are actually saying and the impact it makes on the story but, in this game the whole idea was to be listening and thinking before talking.
