I talk about my failures, and specific ones in the last few
weeks. “Struggle” has always been a part of improv – either as the
scene on stage or off stage as part of the company/team. We don’t
talk about it too much because we avoid vulnerability and we want
“brand trust.” If I run a team, I want people to trust we are
going to be successful every show. If run an improv company, I want
students/audience members to trust my product and talking about
failure *may* challenge that.
I talk about “armchair consultants” and the specific things I’ve
tried! And have lost money and time on….
… but that doesn’t mean I won’t try again.
