How to play the improv warm-up game SimulSpeak from Dan O'Connor of Impro Theater

Listening is a big part of improvisation. Listening to what your partner is saying is required to work together to build a scene (a relationship and a story).
Dan O'Connor is a founder of BATS Improv in San Francisco and Impro Theater in Los Angeles. He share one of the activities he uses to train listening.

SimulSpeak is not as complicated as it may sound. Give it a try.
When I set up this video series, I purposely asked my contributors not to 'demonstrate' the game. I believe part of the fun, is trying to figure out the game/activity as described. Playful exploration is a key part of Improvisation....and who knows, you might discover something new and wonderful.
What questions do you have?
visit the site for more games. Play on. And share.
And thank you Dan for sharing this activity. The improv community is a generous group.
