This week’s jam: The Reflex

The jam is brought to you by Lloydie.

In Duran Duran’s song “The Reflex” there is the following lyric:

“Oh the reflex what a game he’s hiding all the cards
The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark”

Your instinctive, reflex reaction to what happens in a scene is the key to something awesome happening. This Thursday we are going to let go of any forward planning we are tempted to do in our heads and we are going to let our natural reactions create awesome moment.

The treasure in your scene isn’t caught up in that great idea you’ve been storing up to do; it’s in the honest reaction you give to what your scene partner just did.

Come along on Thursday and be delighted by what your brain can do without you even trying.

REMEMBER: Coming along to the jam means you agree to our basic MissImp Ground Rules. It’s common sense stuff but if you’ve not seen it, it lays out how we can all look after each other when we’re improvising together: The Small Print

And now, here’s an 80s music video:

Hi There!

During the coronavirus outbreak, MissImp has continued to offer entirely free online activities for our community, including commissioning an ongoing series of paid virtual drop-ins from improvisers around the world, fortnightly online Gorilla Burger shows and more. If you’d like to help us keep these activities going and keep our lights on we’d be immensely grateful. Together, we can get through this.
