Binary Decisions

If you break down your scenes into a series of binary choices, you might find it easier to free up your brain to focus on reacting to those choices.

I’m Michael Bradt for The Bit Theater. Ultimately, most of the decisions you’ll have to make onstage are binary. If someone accuses you of stealing their wallet, you did or you didn’t. If someone confesses their love for you, you’re either happy or unhappy about it. If you’re doing your job, you’re either good at it or bad at it. If you break down your scenes into a series of binary choices, you might find it easier to free up your brain to focus on reacting to those choices. That’s your improv tip for the day. Stay safe, stay healthy, love each other, and I will see you next time.
