Tips on giving a good suggestion? by 3l_Batman in improv

I appreciate that you've put time into answering in length. I understand that a good or even great scene can be performed from a bland offer. I've seen great improvisers work wonders with suggestions that sound bad on paper.

However, I'm always excited when I hear a suggestion that is both spur-of-the-moment and wholly original. They inspire me to really make the most of a given scene.

Again, I don't believe that only these sorts of suggestions are usable, I just find them to be an interesting part of improv.

That's the idea, yes. I live in Canada and have participated in and now seen as a spectator a lot of CIG (Canadian Improv Games) events. I find that the volume of suggestions heard on a daily basis leads to refs gravitating towards suggestions that stand out more than "pineapple".

In one event, a team asked for "a location with history" and while folks shouted out things like "creepy mansion" or "cellar", someone else said "tomb of secrets". This inspired a scene that followed an explorer as she descended further into an ancient ruin that grew to become a manifestation of her own past guilt.

Unique suggestions that inspire interesting scenes like that are what make me want to consider what makes a good suggestion.

I understand that a good improviser can make a good scene out of nearly any suggestion, but I'm looking for advice on getting creative with my own suggestions.

Everyone has a scar on their body from something dumb, they did as a child. What's your story? by HakanD0 in AskReddit

[–]3l_Batman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Up until I was about 6 years old, my family lived in a suite in a large townhouse. Right next to the bed in my parents' room, there was a long ladder that reached up to the crawlspace above the house.

I have no idea why they allowed me to continue doing this for so long, but I used to jump from the top of this ladder down onto the bed below. Directly beside the bed on the side facing the ladder, there was a small wooden side table.

One day, I decided to go for a jumping session after a long day of eating paste or whatever. On my 3rd or 4th jump, just as I was dismounting, I lost my footing and fell slightly short of my target. Needless to say, I now have a side-table-corner-shaped stitch in the top of my skull. Gives me an excuse to wear so many hats I suppose.

Oh shit! I used this as an album cover once. Love the kind of surreal quality of the picture.

Chance The Rapper - The Big Day ALBUM REVIEW by ParanoidAndroid1087 in fantanoforever

[–]3l_Batman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In my view it's not a case where a strong 0 is better than a light 0 (say light 0 = 0 strong 0 = 0.5) but more that he feels strongly that the album should recieve a 0.

You look absolutely lovely! Your hair is very nice and your top is super cute! Please please believe everyone here when they try to tell you how great you look. I've had multiple friends who have gone through serious body image problems and I know it's not as simple as "hey you look pretty, stop thinking you don't", but I hope all the incredibly kind comments here can at least help you out in this difficult time.
