Pet Chat


Improving your 'prov can happen anytime, and hanging out with a pet is prime time. Have a conversation with your dog or cat or goldfish or minx. Look at their "expressions," and imagine what they might be "saying," and respond to that.

Improv is not about jamming your agenda into a scene, but responding to info your partner gives. Sometimes, the most important thing they give is a look or tone, not words. Animals, our spechless pals, offer a great chance to hone our listening and response.
