I’d be curious to read a similar exploration of characters who are children. I’ve found a lot of fellow improvisers who will endow themselves as kids (sometimes toddlers!) and it always throws me off. I find it challenging, especially if the expectation is that I too am a young person. It feels especially difficult to play to the top of my intelligence or justify anything. I might be the only one who struggles with this though but it really kind of stymies me.
I love the comparisons to movies (stealing). I allow non verbal animal group scenes, even in truthy classes. They are good for a change of pace and add some energy.
