The latest episode contains skills that can provide levity and improve relationships and are right on time for the holidays! As we come together with family, it's all about improv and our ability to build on whatever is happening in the room in real-time. Improv isn't just on stage or about being funny, as you'll learn. Years ago, I took improv classes and was initially terrified. My fear vanished when I learned the goal wasn't to be funny but to be present and to be able to “yes, and” (an awesome skill you'll learn in this episode). It was a blast and taught me tons about life. The skills I gained were immediately useful to me both personally and professionally. In fact, here's a great article that explains how it can boost a crucial life skill of helping us improve our ability to tolerate ambiguity: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1871187119302470 Because of improv's ability to help us live more fully, I simply had to dedicate an episode to it. And I found the perfect person to interview: Rick Andrews. Rick is an adjunct professor at Columbia University where he teaches acting to MFA students and he's been a performer and instructor of improv for over 20 years. Yes, he is very funny. More importantly, he helps people improve their listening, public speaking, leadership, professional innovation, and so much more. You will hear Rick explain what improv is, what it's not, you'll get a sense of how it's done, and you'll even hear a live improv exercise featuring me and Rick! So please, listen in and learn how to improve life through improv.

In Shakespeare’s THE TEMPEST, the magician Prospero conjures up a storm, charms his daughter to sleep, and uses his power to control Ariel and other spirits. Is this magic for real, or is Prospero pulling off elaborate illusions? Fascinated by this question and by Prospero’s relinquishing of magic at the play’s end, Teller (of the magic/comedy team Penn & Teller) co-directed a production of THE TEMPEST with Aaron Posner at Chicago Shakespeare Theater in 2015. In this episode of Shakespeare Unlimited, Teller joins Barbara Mowat, director of research emerita at the Folger and co-editor of the Folger Editions, to talk about magic in THE TEMPEST and other Shakespeare plays, as well as the attitudes about magic in late sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century England. Teller and Mowat are interviewed by Barbara Bogaev. From the Shakespeare Unlimited podcast series. © March 8, 2016. Folger Shakespeare Library. All rights reserved. This podcast episode is called “Enter Prospero in His Magic Robes, and Ariel.” It was produced by Richard Paul. Garland Scott is the associate producer. It was edited by Gail Kern Paster and Esther Ferington. We had help from Melissa Marquis at NPR in Washington, Rick Andrews and Casey Morell at Nevada Public Radio in Las Vegas, and Steven Martin at KPCC in Los Angeles.
