Will each participant be able to succeed at every task?
“We have a no-fail policy -Or Staff writes skits and games that have simple to follow instructions and are already funny. The effort of each individual participant is the only measure of their success.”
Can every participant feel safe and nurtured?
“We have safety nets -An FBP (Funny Bizniz Performer) is always right there to pick up the slack. One FBP is always in character in the skit and the other is subtly directing the participants.”
How can Funny Bizniz get our group to go from a 0-60 in the short time entrusted to you?
“Proper Structure -We designed a core system that teaches each part of improvisational thinking and performing separately, like making a pizza by assembling the 8 slices. (Physical movement, acting to narration, odd voices, reacting to partners, bold performance, mimicry, etc.) Finally the last game requires them to use everything they’ve absorbed.”
How can you be sure everyone will get equal time and attention?
“Badges -As everyone arrives at our event they are given a badge, on it is one of four team colors and a number 1-12. As we play the games we simply call a few numbers and the participants come right up to play. As the event proceeds we continually cycle through the numbers.”
How do you keep the events moving?
“Traffic control -As games end, new numbers are called, so participants switch with spectators as new scenes and props are being set.”
How do you keep the events interesting?
“Diversity -Each game we design is completely different from the others.”
