I used to think that acting was all about following a script, wearing goofy costumes, and being dramatic, but now I’ve realized that acting in theatre can also be on the spot, or in other words, improv. at first, the idea of going onstage and just acting out a scene was strange and new to me and felt uncomfortable/scary. But after a couple lessons, it started feeling more and more natural.

A big learning idea in improvisation that I’ve learned is to always say yes, no matter the circumstance. This will stick with me because I’ve learned that one “no” can stop an entire scene.

I think during improv I was creative and added interesting things to scenes. I would like to improve at staying in character and following along with the scene.
