Improv Enhances Your Relationship
Through laughter, joy, and communication, you can improve your relationships by learning improv.
Relationships are, of course, a significant area in your life. A great opportunity to improve your relationship or even save your relationship and your joy in life is through communication. Every relationship you care about is significant because of the very fact that you care about what the other person thinks and how they feel, etc.
Now there is a common element in most relationship break downs, and that is communication. If you wish to maintain a healthy relationship then you must maintain an honest and open opportunity of communication. You must be aware of maintaining all the elements of true communication, listening and honest expression.
When you begin a relationship there is first the getting to know you phase where you are intrigued and attentive to what the other says. Then there is that very cute phase where you have spent enough time with each other to know what the other is thinking and you can finish your partners sentences. Now this is where a parting of the ways can begin to occur, for if you keep running on the belief that because you once finished your partners sentence and were congruent with their thoughts, that you still know what they mean or meant in a situation. You may not be aware that you are building distance between you and the one you care so deeply about. If you continually do not let the other person finish their sentence, then they may start to feel unappreciated or unheard. This is a similar emotion to being ignored or taken for granted and this is definitely not an emotional place that leads to joyful adventures together.
A constant relationship question or relationship issue is 'how we can get back the spark or the understanding'. Here is a simple game or processes you can do to play or to build communication between you and your beloved partner once again.
A Simple Process in Improving Relationships and Partnerships with An Improv Technique
“So What You Are Saying” is a very simple process. You only get to speak one sentence at a time. First person “A” makes a statement, then, person “B” simply states “So What You Are Saying is”… and then in their own words they reword what was just told to them by person “A”. The main rule of this game is that person you can not use the same words that were used in the initial sentence. Then after they have repeated what was said they respond with their one sentence. Then Person “A” simply states “So What You Are Saying is”… and then in their own words they reword the sentence that person “B” said as their reply and then respond etc.
An example.....
A: The shampoo bottle is empty.
B: So what you are saying is… the container of liquid for hair cleansing no longer has anything in it. There is a new one in the cupboard.
A: So what you are saying is… that there is an un-opened full shampoo bottle in the storage area under the bathroom sink. Why didn't you put this one in the bin?
B: So what you are saying is… you are confused by a bottle of incorrect location based on its lack of contents.
