Mischief Managed Episode 47 - Mischief Managed Episode 47 - "How We View Improv as Permanent"

Mischief Improv

In art form that is so temporary, we have a tendancy to view aspects of it as permanent.  We think an improv team will last forever, or take classes with only one person... improv is organic. It stops, and starts.

Firstly and leastly, I talk about this entire podcast and why I started it.  It’s all about DOCUMENTATION!! Which made me think I want to do a whole episode on “documentation.”

Mischief Managed Episode 43 - Mischief Managed Episode 43 - "Systematic Racism in Larger Improv Groups"

Mischief Improv

I have been noticing a few trends in larger improv companies when addressing their lack of BIPOC representation on stage and as teachers.  Leaders tend to use the same reasons across the board - and sometimes they are reasons for past behavior, as well as an excuse for future behavior.

Mischief Improv

The value of class is not always what comes from the instructors. I do my best to make my workshops and classes have value beyond what I teach.

Last show of the season, we had a great time visiting the incredible community in Nottingham. SOLD OUT SHOW! If your team has fun and gets along, you should do a tour!  The van trip is so fun.

Our final show was 10 months in the making and I talk about how the whole MissImp evening warmed up, then how we as a team warmed up. Mischief Managed Improv got to share the stage with Four From Far Away – a great improv team. 

Thank you for listening. This marks the end of our very first season as a team. 

I hope we get to work together again, or if we haven’t yet, I hope we get to work together in the future.
