Wherever you go it's the same fear. And the same protective devices. There is one big error I think and partly my fault which is that a lot of things are taught to beginners which you can cast off later on.
Keith JohnstoneGood improvisers seem telepathic; everything looks pre-arranged, This is because they accept all offers madeโwhich is something no โnormalโ person would do.
Keith JohnstoneI tell people not to do their best. I don't know when that started. Quite a while ago. Because I . . . when they're doing their best I don't get their best. So I try to persuade them to be average. Because if you're wonderful and you're average, you're still wonderful. If you're a bad improviser and you're average, you're what you are.
