good and now do this and that oh thank

you that’s all perfect okay so now we

are on the same side yes so

improvisation theater many people maybe

do not know what it is it is basically

theater without a script

we make up everything while we are doing

it so we we actually don’t know what to

do on this stage now and a couple of

minutes so what we do to create improv

theatre is that we saying yes to our

partners ideas we trust our impulses and

try to be spontaneous and listen very

carefully to to the partner what they

are saying

hmm yeah cool and we’ve been here

listening to you it was not always to

you but to people on stage giving these

amazing talks and being inspired and

hopefully some of it is somewhere around

here

we’re try not to think about too much

because then we’ll be only in our heads

and not present because you need to be

present

but we’re gonna have it somewhere in our

head all these talks and get inspired

and do an improvised piece for you now

and the only thing we need for you to

get this started is a word a word that

you heard here today focus

I heard focus so focus is the word we

start with this this is your one hour

musician he will improvise all the music

also today he has not prepared anything

everything is completely improvised we

give you a spectrum of improvised scene

we start with focus nurse I am now

removing the bullet

[Music]

hopefully there will be no brain damage

I don’t know what happened I was

standing on the street suddenly a car

drove by and I heard this sound it’s

clicking sound and then a like like a

[Music]

it cannot take more than a minute after

that the next victim will come you know

that of course your son think of a leaf

it will make it easy the next one is on

you I think I have a BB I’m having a

real really hard time planning stuff I’m

always late to stuff it’s like

organizing things just won’t work in my

head and I’m having a really hard time

focusing except for the times where I

can focus and then I do five assignments

in the night that’s my life I have to

have the knife right to my throat

otherwise I don’t get done

and I think focus is the hardest part

and the easiest one at the same time

oh my god yes all the shelves all of ups

are down okay and they’re all now right

here in the cart

from the ground up and just build it
