I'm an active participant in improv and I'd like to disagree right here.
If you have someone who is really being off the rails and is JUST expressing themselves and not really listening/collaborating... It's essentially the same as a `no` to everyone else's idea.
I have a hard time reconciling these things. Where it "should" be safe for "everyone" but not if you're too crazy!
I think some people really get off on the expressive/generative part of improv and not so much on the listening/collaborating.
- taurath 8y agoI suppose that there are quite a few people who express their social anxiety by having pressure of speech, which it'd be a downside for, but for myself and most others who go "quiet" out of deference or fear its been very helpful. If the person doesn't do well at passing the ball in a conversation, often times they can fix that pretty easily by having it explained to them, and given what would normally seem way overly direct/aggressive advice usually works well for those people.
