 What makes a story interesting? Some say fantasy, some say feeling... I say change. Everyone is in a constant change in their lives, and it it something everyone can relate to. But for an improvised story, a great deal of focus and listening is required, for an improviser has to think about the present, **the story that is developing in the moment he/she is performing, and at the same time at the future,** laying down the basis for other performers to give their contribution to that same story, accepting that it may go in a totally different way than what he was thinking. \\ What makes a story interesting?

 The body is rarely used effectively, in improv. **Combining body and words we can produce a communication on much deeper levels** towards the audience, create hilarious situations, play with the conscious and unconscious unsaid, and find new ways of **character deepening.** \\ The body is rarely used effectively, in improv. **Combining body and words we can produce a communication on much deeper levels** towards the audience, create hilarious situations, play with the conscious and unconscious unsaid, and find new ways of **character deepening.** \\
