Whenever there is a question in improv the answer is always the pulse. It is our resistance that keeps us from being constantly in touch with the pulse. We don't forget to breathe--we know we'd die if we did so. But we allow for our own creative deaths daily by losing touch of our pulse and following directions passed down to us by society, workplace, school, parents, spouses, friends, authority figures and institutions that depend completely on stifling our own pulse to gain and keep control of us.

We must find our own pulse and follow our own pulse, always. That is the only answer in improv.

May the pulse be with you!
