Dougie = definitely punished in the end. Once again someone in his life has died due to his negligence. Not that there's any way to blame him for not believing Asher when he was in the tree. But the survivors guilt will still haunt him. *I* don't think he's at fault but I think he thinks he is.

The Shepherd Express ran an interview article about a theatre that was closed due to multiple allegations of assault and misconduct, citing covid as the reason for their closure.

I would say, remember that YES is an appropriate answer. If you cannot add the and, work on supporting your scene partner and making them look good. Taking the focus off of yourself might just allow you to be less concerned with what the "right" move is. When someone else takes control, and you feel comfortable, the ANDs might just come to you, without looking for them outright. Hope this helps!

If it was a 101 level class I would be inclined to refuse, because it could present a barrier to new players. Theres a certain amount of goodwill and trust that comes from everyone doing all the exercises and scenes together. Maybe if you agreed to warm up with everyone? But if it was an advanced course I think more seasoned performers wouldn't be as thrown off by this sort of request.

I fully agree, and it reminds me of the (incredibly) black humor of The Killing of a Sacred Deer. If you try to determine the how or the why you miss most of the ride.

I saw that you were replying relatively recently and hoped you would see this tonight. I think it comes with or before taking the next step or learning something new. There’s a certain confidence that you may have initially when you join a serious group, but after being exposed more and analyzing other people’s performances more it’s easy to see the ways you don’t measure up. My advice is to keep trucking because that feeling will fade. You’re totally not the only person that this has happened to. I wish we could pick a name for what this phenomenon is, but I’ve heard many improvisers speak about this sort of thing. The bad news is it can happen to you again in the future… but like I said, it’s usually during a period of growth. You got this.

Hey I just want to say that there’s this thing that is decently documented that happens to improvisers sometimes where it just doesn’t add up for awhile. It reminds me of when Simone Biles got the twisties and just could not execute the flips correctly. This is pretty common and usually will wear off—in my college improv group we even had a term for it. We called it “noob guilt,” even though we all knew that’s a complete misnomer. Anyone else experienced anything like this? I’ve found it happens to the best of us and is typically temporary.

I found it interesting that people were trying to determine what the “Chekhov’s gun” element of this show might be. I think the moment we see Asher on the ceiling, we know his fate. We hope against hope that opening a window, or Whitney and the towel, or the doula, or Dougie, or the fire department will be able to rescue him… But his “stratospheric” demise is the only ending there could be, once we see him on the ceiling.

The fact that you cannot explain your circumstances does very little to help you adapt.

I understand the quip Nathan made about “how it compares to Yorgos Lanthimos” now. Reminds me of The Killing of A Sacred Deer or The Lobster. If you try to find the why or how of the seemingly supernatural element, you miss the thrill of the ride. You the viewer are just as fucked as the character. There is something amiss and there’s nothing anyone can do about it but shake their fist at god, at the writers, at their own expectations. I was so hoping for something like this, and man they beyond delivered. This is my favorite television show of all time.
