Earlier on today, I was asked to define improv in one sentence. My answer was simple:

Improvisation is the art of listening and responding or reacting.

Simple right? Well, perhaps not as easy as it sounds. Here are a few questions for you to consider in relation to this definition:

  • How often do you really listen to people?
  • How often are you simply waiting to interject with your own thoughts?
  • Do you give stock responses to questions or comments?
  • Does your conversation revolve around the same set of subjects?
