BRING A BRICK, NOT A CATHEDRAL!
This is one of my favorite improv sayings. It means: start with one piece! Build whatever it's going to be WITH your scene partner, not FOR them. This is how we honor our scene partner, and how we have healthy boundaries for ourselves as well.

A tribute to an inspiring woman, Dr. Maya Angelou.
Photo credit: glamour.com
In many of our workshops (and each of the original Improvising the Inside workshops) we referenced a poem called Human Family written by Dr. Maya Angelou.
The poem includes the words "We are more alike, my friends, than we are unalike." three times in the final stanza.
It is our mission to bring people together in a unique and profound way through laughter. That belief - that we are more alike than unalike - is foundational to all of our work. Thank you, Dr. Angelou, for the gift of those words.
