There is NO Secret

Great Thread!
The secret is there is NO SECRET! secrets are for suckers! There's only things you know and you don't know. Improv becomes really fun for me when we explore the things we don't know. Or as Andy put it........................................
Terrill...ific!

Ian actually did a series of these videos, asking different improv minds what is the most important thing in improv. My favorite was this one:

No, no - you had it right. You just forgot the bit about the Benjamins.

Left off that video was footage of some improvisor who showed up late to that workshop, walking through the door.
