Ten Commandments

Here is another set of 'rules' that's been circulating for a while. Also take a look at Eleven Commandments and The Rules . And never forget: it's good to know the rules (some rules) but once you've mastered them, by all means break them. Read Improvise - Scene from the inside out for a discussion why rules in Improv are not all that relevant.

Anyway, here goes:

• Thou shalt not block (see Blocking )
• Thou shalt always retain focus
• Thou shalt not shine above thy team-mates
• To gag is to commit a sin that will be paid for (see Gagging )
• Thou shalt always be changed by what is said to you
• Thou shalt not waffle ( see Waffling )
• When in doubt, break the routine
• To wimp is to show thy true self ( see Wimping )
• (S)he what tries to be clever is not; while (s)he that is clever doesn't try
• When thy faith is low, thy spirit weak, thy good fortune strained, and thy team losing, be comforted and smile, because it just doesn't matter.
