Tina Fey Rocks!
Tina Fey is one of the most accomplished comediennes of our generation (SNL, 30 Rock, etc).
Many of us actors may look at what she’s accomplished and think, “I WISH I could be as funny/witty/creative as she is.”
But Tinay Fey didn’t achieve her success – nor did she become so creatively funny – overnight! She spent years working on her craft, doing what?….
You guessed it… Improv!
Tina Fey and Improv
Tina Fey studied first at iO (Chicago’s Improv Olympic, where she met Amy Poehler), and then was a member of The Second City Touring Group. She spent years studying and performing improvisational comedy, which helped launch her career and path to comedic stardom.
So when Tina Fey talks about improv, we should definitely perk our ears up. Especially when she shares one of the BIGGEST SECRETS OF IMPROV!
As Tina put it….
“Start with a YES and see where that takes you.”
Write that down, put it on your bathroom mirror, and let that sink into your creative bones!
The principle of “yes, and” is one of the most powerful tools from improv! It promotes constructive creativity, team building, and so much more. And it can be super easy to do!
Be Smart, But Use That Secret Sauce
Of course we’re not saying you should say “yes” to everything that comes your way in life. If your co-worker comes up to you and asks you for your wallet, we give you permission to say “no way!”…
But the principle of agreeing to an offer and building upon it is the secret sauce to creating the best improv lasagna you will ever experience!
