Our improv troupe has been performing together for three years and we used to build on each other's offers instinctively but lately we've all gotten so focused on being funny that we're competing for laughs instead of creating scenes together. Every show feels like six separate people trying to be the star instead of one group making something none of us could make alone.
More people experience this than they realize.
The desire to shine can eclipse the very collaboration that makes theatrical improvisation luminous.
