The Ten Commandments

Hey -- for those interested in the craft of improv, I found these "Ten Commandments" at humanpingpongball.com and thought they were pretty good. The site's a pretty good resource, so cheeeck it out. Of course, nothing is ever set in stone with improv, but, well, see these more as "guidelines."
  • Thou shalt not block
  • Thou shalt always retain focus
  • Thou shalt not shine above thy team-mates
  • To gag is to commit a sin that will be paid for
  • Thou shalt always be changed by what is said to you
  • Thou shalt not waffle
  • When in doubt, break the routine
  • To wimp is to show thy true self
  • (S)he what tries to be clever is not; while (s)he that is clever doesn't try
  • When thy faith is low, thy spirit weak, thy good fortune strained, and thy team losing, be comforted and smile, because it just doesn't matter.
