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.

info_outlineThis episode is a few rapid fire questions to Maggie Noland and David Elliot. I get to ask them things like:
- If there was an improv moved named after David Elliot, what would it be?
- If there was a short form game named after Maggie Nolan, what would it be?
- If you walked to the top of “improv guru mountain” and someone unexpected would be the “guru of improv” who would it be?
- What did you do better when your first started, that you sort of lost after doing it for so long?
- How can you tell when someone is new at improv?
It leads to some fun conversation with two people not only do I think are hilarious, but incredibly insightful. I love people who can crack jokes but also have emotional depth. I find not only do I enjoy spending time with them, but I learn from them as well.
