Seven Steps of Improv:
1. Play
2. Let yourself Fail
3. Listen ('Listening is the willingness to change")
4. Say 'Yes'
5. Say 'Yes And..'
6. Play the Game
7. Relax and Have Fun
I teach acting techniques to business students to help them give more dynamic presentations. I show this video to them in class. This is how it's done...
cool
acting is very fun and difficult at same time
I'm flattered.
Simple manipulation, the same use this tricks politics from actors in party time (when everybody laughs for poor Peoples). This is 20% manipulation 100% is Kaballah. Women do not need to be taught acting, they are born actresses.
Dave Morris is a fun, resourceful, and highly entertaining improv. presenter. Kudos to him!!
So awesome! He kind of reminds me of Jack Black!
Thanks... I think. Yeah. Thanks.
its been 10 years and this video is still GENIUS !!!
Great talk. Listening is the willingness to change. That's beautiful.
I'm blown away that this guy prepared his speech.
Awesome and useful tips with 7 steps of Improvising:
Play
Engage
Let yourself fail
Listening
Say Yes
Play the game/Improvise within the rules
Relax and have fun
Sweet Sweet! You taught me years ago... This is the first TED I'm watching
Excellent! Instructive! Improvised! Awesome!
This was suggested to me by so me guys from an RPG community I belong to and they were right this video can help a lot of people with their table top role playing games. Great video!
It was just shared again in a German Discord Server für Pen and Paper. It's really helpful and inspiring. And so simple.
Great stuff! Just began my improv journey with an Improv 101 class and this was the first "homework". Very informative and well presented!
This video is magical. Thank you!
This is the first ted talk i've been engaged in!!
This was absolutely great! I am about to create a workgroup to give employees the opportunity to practice public speaking at my job, and this will definitely be a video I show to the group! Awesome lesson here.
Starting my middle school theater improv unit tomorrow. Going to show this for the first time. We will see how it goes.
Are you a teacher or a student lol
I think this matches perfectly with the teachings of Dr. Wayne Dyer. Principally the idea of play (live), here and now. The present-moment concept.
Your erroneous zones.
Best Ted ever
Soooo good! I adore improv/flow! I am watching this the morning of a circus performance that I haven't had time to suss out and will be largely improving. I have been feeling some anxiety about it, even though flow is my happy place and I play for a living. So I searched "Ted Talk Improv". This was so so so perfect! Gorgeous presence and wonderfully consise advice! I love everything about this! Going to share with my cast now!! Thank you, silly human!
Thank you so much, this video influenced me in a very positive way, I'm no longer afraid of speaking in front of public and I'm standing up again after every fail I make . Thank you Mr David ❤
Dave Morris is a genius, and I love this talk!
I think what Dave is saying is that "Yes and" gives credit to the previous idea and follows with your and "Yes but" says that the previous idea is inferior to what is about to come next. In the creative process all ideas should be considered since you never know where a perceived ineffective idea will lead.
nice love improv thank you for sharing
Thanks for your inspiring talk, Dave Morris!
Great stuff, Dave. Spread the word.
Thank you so much. I am a student teacher and yhis has help me simply improv for non theatre students. We enjoyed the joys of play, inspiration team work and impulse
You're welcome so much.
Just had an AWESOME workshop with Dave Morris...so inspiring and practical and relevant to all aspects of life. Dave's an amazing facilitator!
As a classroom teacher, great.. thank you..
I dig it! One of my fav tedx speaker.
So well done! Now to Improvise a comment - Bologne
I have to disagree with one small point. "Yes, but" is as important as "Yes, and." It's still not a "No," and shouldn't happen as often (unless the "conversation" is between people with mutually exclusive goals in the story we're telling), but it helps change the direction of the story. If we all bring a brick, and we pile them up on top of each other, we might make a wall. But if we allow people to turn corners and change direction, we can end up with a house, or even a palace.
I mean, sort of. I think what you'd call a "but" I'd call an "and". You have to put bricks on top of each other, or next to each other, or near each other, or in some view of each other. All of those I'd call "and" because you're bringing a brick. A but is when I say "I brought a brick", and you say "I brought a rhinoceros." You didn't say "no" to my brick, but you certainly didn't build on it or add to it. I think we just have a different idea of what constitutes a but... and that's a sentence I never thought I would write.
Maybe look at it this way: if you put an idea out there and someone says, "yeah, but ..." are they supporting you or diminishing you? It is likely some people use "yes, but" in a positive way, however, not everyone will. And if you are in a group and the group vibe is based around editing as you grow ideas/"yes, but", then I would guess that someone is going to clam up and then it cascades. Go with "yes, and" instead and see how that feels ...
@@DaveMorristv" I think we just have a different idea of what constitutes a but... and that's a sentence I never thought I would write."
Took me a minute and a second read.....now THAT's funny.
I'm so lucky I get to play with this guy every week!!
YAY 720p TED videos... Thank god.
Loved this
Best speaker EVER!!!
Thanks, changed my perspective
We have a rule - I need to make my wife a cappuccino every morning, with a cinnamon heart on it. Yes, it's a rule. AND, she makes me enjoy doing it, because of the loving way she invariably thanks me for it. I am loved. Life is good.
@Adonis Miller I did.
Best TEDxTalks video ever!
congrats Dave! twas great speaking at tedx with you and i appreciate you warming up the audience for me. well, getting them right hot i think actually. ;) well done sir.
This is so dope! Thanks bro!
Now i am feeling really good after watching this video..but i dont know after few days i would have been forgotten all of these.. 😂 but i would say a very informative video to watch and worth my 10m49s
Proud to say that I am friends with this very talented man! :) Dave, if you are reading this, let me see your pass ;)
Because life 1:47 - believe it or not - is improvised.
i have to say yes and but here :)
Yes, it is very inspiring and great ways to improvise .. i am trying to bring this to the middle school where my kids are going ...and I am also sure he is a great coach for improvising BUT ....he did not tallk about how to let go of the fear or how to be relax and have fun .....there is some people probably are natural to do it without fear, relax and fun but there are some people who just could not do it ....it is just to overwhelming the emotions hence he/she could not relax, have fun or let go of the fear no matter how much you tell the person to do the opposite ....
Actually he does talk about relaxing in the moment at the end of the talk.
Yes ...but some people just don't know how to relax ...
getting rid of the fear of speaking in public/on stage is something that takes lots of time in my opinion. It's not something that happens after one session, or two or three. It comes after years of improvisation. The ability to let go and just...have fun and relax while you're doing something that may seem embarrassing or silly isn't easy. You have to dedicate yourself to it.
well i think you can only relax by getting rid of the fear to fail and the best way to get rid of it is to fail. because the fear is of course worse than the actual fail. So if you see "Ok I failed, it can't get any worse I'm gonna try again and if I fail again I'm gonna try again and again until I win or the 'fail' is no longer a fail (which is also a win)." because in improvisation i think there is no actual fail. If you make something out of the situation, no matter what, it's no longer a fail. Its the person itself that thinks "Oh god I failed, I made a total fool out of myself and they think I can't get anything right"
I'm having big trouble with improvisation and being relaxed but I want to change it. And as stupid as it sounds, but I'm looking forward to my next "fail", just to handle the situation better and start feeling more comfortable with myself, because I think a fail exist only in my way of thinking.
Yes that is so true ... That 'fail' is an illusion ...what we consider 'fail' other people might see it as 'no big deal' or 'indifferent' ...it only exist in our mind ...so the trick is to let go that illusion ... But of course this is easier said than done ... From my experience the 'fear to fail' normally goes back as far as our childhood experiences ...
Great talk.
WOW ! , that's awesome and powerful.
In my twenty four years as an "avocational" actor, I've discovered that more often than not, many if not most acting coaches take a dim view of improvisation. They would be correct if they argue that skill at it doesn't automatically translate into an actor's being able to master scene work. However, an improvisationally "wise" actor, if confident in learning the lines, can be freer in performance than one without this talent because he can relate better on a moment to moment basis.
beautiful man😃
you're hilarious! yes to improv...improv needs to be given is schools!
...one of the steps to more enhanced and sharper artistry.
Great!
great man 👏👏👏
very creative :) i love it
Great speaker- very funny.
Woah, love this (guy).
yup!
i love this
Love this video!!! When is the next class??? I wanna PLAY!!
Great
He should have said "can you give me 100 dollars?" at 5:53
The mith says that all the talk was improvised
*myth*
myth
He improvised the spelling
this man is not only wise but also handsome
...said the beautiful and intelligent commenter.
I was so distracted by the movement backstage. any one else notice? xD
who's this handsome doctor he's talking about that talked about failing?
You would love him. He's so handsome.
@GodEquals3 True that improv does not happen in a vacuum. Here's a better way of saying it: improvising is a way of making something where it was not before.
Also true that sometimes you do have to say no. As Dave Morris said, a series of yeses takes will you somewhere and a series of nos doesn't even get started. There are some paths you just shouldn't go down, but when you really listen, you find there's a lot more things you can say yes to than things you have to say no to.
I know you wrote this 8 years ago, but in case you haven't thought about it since, yes is not used in situations where your life is being threatened, you are about to be scammed, legal cases etc. This is more informal, game based stuff and to do with life journey, friendships, workmates etc.
Confidence.
Unless acting has an improvisational quality to it, it's stale, predictable, boring and not even worth watching at some point. The solution: When given a script to work on, once you have the lines sufficiently memorized, improvise, return to the lines and do the same cycle again and again until you reach a point where you just don't know how those lines come out.
wHAT
kwixotic hey, that's how Anthony Hopkins does it.
Okay let me get this straight
he has changed our perception about rules so we can fallow them as sheeps yet be happy with it
Ahah impro
following rules does not inherently mean you're a sheep? you can understand what a rule is, think critically about it and understand why it is in place, then follow it knowing the benefits of it being a rule in the first place. if there is a rule that is built to be good and productive, then you should be able to follow it happily, no problem. Not following rules makes you an illfitting member of society. People who don't follow rules because they don't want to go to jail.
Well, I wouldn't say that. Sometimes you create the rules you follow. Also, you don't have to play any of the games. But you're not wrong, a lot of improv teachings make it sound like we're starting a cult. We're not though. I promise... but I guess that's what someone starting a cult would say. :) Thanks for watching.
Deciding all rules turn you into a sheeple, is itself a rule.
just when I thought hes getting to the juice of all of it he left the stage...
He left to see his dogs
Yeah. I only had 10 minutes.
@@pingnixon-hermansen5046 I don't have dogs.
@@DaveMorristv Yes, you do have dogs Dave, and they needed a hug. After that they're pretty right and they're good for the day.
I know what you mean. I was doing a Shakespeare scene and there was one part that was left out of my control, and the thought that I would have to improvise something in the middle of the scene scared me to death. So I made sure the actor that I was working with made this item fall in the right spot, so I wouldn't have to do something that I didn't rehearse for.
I'm terrible at improv and I get so nervous. I'm cool as a cucumber with a script and rigid sets of actions, but shaking during improv.
Let yourself fail
The way he said "process" was....improv?
He reminds me of Zac Galifi... Galifian... Galife... Smith.
Thanks. Unless you don't Zach Galifianakism, in which case, ouch.

Great talk! I want advice about improvisation. How do I handle a situation, where someone says something that I don't think is within the rules?
If your meaning to ask the improv guy a question, don’t ask here. TedX posted this, not improv guy.
@@pingnixon-hermansen5046 Thanks Ping. I was thinking the same thing. :)
what color is your bugatti bruv
Red.
Very good talk but improvisation isn't making something out of nothing and sometimes you just have to say no.
Indeed. It's not something out of nothing, although that's a convenient phrase to explain it to laypeople. It's making something out of something, but that doesn't give people the right idea either. Art is always hard to talk about.
As for no. Try and get the "no's" out of the way by setting parameters or rules or a game. If you do that, you don't need to say no. It's a more fluid creative process that way.
Sparta Man ];-D... .
this sounds like social submission
It does doesn't it. Don't worry. It's not.
smeep
No no no...dont look at no like that....
Dear starving people in the world:
Relax and have fun!
It's better than telling them to stress out and be miserable... Seriously though, you make a valid point. Improv is something privileged people get to do. And as privileged people we should be aware and listen to the rest of the world, and say YES, we see how much suffering there is, AND here's what we're going to do to help. The less fortunate people in the world are improvising as best as they can, us well-fed people need to accept how we are contributing and give those who need help some better offers. Thanks for watching though. Sorry it took so long for me to reply, I don't read the comments often. :)
lame
He is'nt funny, why they are laughing?
I still wonder about this sometimes.
You werent the intended audience
