Episode notes
Act On Good Ideas Confidently
- Act on good ideas and get off the back line; act confidently on moves.
- Make your boldest choices your new baseline and execute them with conviction.
Support But Also End Beats
- Don't support endlessly without ending; end beats so teammates don't carry extra work.
- Say yes-and but also close your beats to keep scenes moving and fair.
Restate To Recenter Scenes
- When scenes get messy, restate what's happening to impose order and orient the audience.
- Use a clear in-character line to summarize the scene and refocus the play.
