Adam Tobin：即兴表演的核心在于创造一个安全的空间，让参与者和听众都能放松探索，从而提升沟通能力。即兴表演帮助建立安全空间，通过合作、倾听和存在感，增强沟通能力和自信。 Dan Klein：即兴表演的关键在于拥抱迷失感，从中发现新的路径和可能性，拓展视野。迷失感并非消极的，而是即兴表演中发现和学习的关键，可以帮助我们拓展视野。 Patricia Ryan Madsen：即兴表演的核心是接纳，而非评判，要对生活、他人和正在发生的事情保持开放和接纳的态度。即兴表演提倡“先行动，再观察”，强调行动的重要性，而非过度思考。即兴表演的理念是“先行动，再观察”，鼓励人们先迈出第一步，再看情况如何发展。即使出现意外情况，也要保持镇定，继续完成任务，并从中创造共享的体验。在面对评判和评价时，保持专注，完成任务，而非被负面情绪影响。 Adam Tobin：在即兴表演中，要抓住对方提供的任何信息，包括语气、语速和情感表达。 Dan Klein：在沟通中，保持专注，避免自我意识过强，才能更好地倾听。倾听是沟通中最重要的部分，要专注于当下，避免分心。在倾听时，要像使用雨刷器一样，清除干扰，专注于聆听对象。 Patricia Ryan Madsen：在即兴表演中，表达情感比语言内容更重要。在进行闲聊时，关注对方，而非过度关注自己，寻找共同点进行交流。即使遇到困难，也要坚持不懈。充分准备，但不要被准备束缚，要保持灵活和开放的态度。即使充分准备，也要保持灵活，适应突发情况。要做好准备，但也要能够灵活应对变化，放弃预设的表达方式，关注当下。

Shownotes Transcript

If you’re reading from your notes, you’re going to miss the magic of the moment. That’s why Adam Tobin, Dan Klein, and Patricia Ryan Madsen bring improv techniques to all their communication.

Communication experts in their respective fields of media, performance, and drama, Tobin, Klein, and Madsen all see the immense power of improv in helping us communicate more freely. As Tobin says, “You do the preparation so that you are expert in the material. And then you let go of the specific delivery of the information in favor of being aware of what's going on now.” Madsen agrees, explaining that we don’t need all the answers, we just need to show up. “Step first,” she says, “then see where you are.”

In this celebration of the 100th episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, the three guests join host Matt Abrahams to discuss how improv can transform our communication in everything from small talk to work presentations, and help us create space where we feel safe enough to show up as our most authentic selves.
