Taught this lovely group of students at @CarnegieMellon how to apply improv to the workplace. As non Drama majors, they learned how to take improv concepts of listening, collaboration, & spontaneity, offstage & ended their course with a fantastic improv show!

[Read Raising Expectations (and Raising Hell) @JPHilllllll]

They painted BLM instead of defunding the police, clapped for essential workers instead of raising the wage, and made Juneteeth a holiday instead of making sure Black folks can vote. Always a symbolic victory instead of a material change.

[aurielle is off socials. @YesAurielle]

Gaslighting is making Juneteenth a federal holiday while banning critical race theory in schools, destabilizing COVID mutual aid efforts, refusing to defund and abolish police, and blocking reparations legislation.

Go play in someone else’s face, America.

[The Improv Boost @BoostImprov]

It seems like when improv institutions make problematic policies they ask you not to take it personally ... even if they take any pushback personally.
