Reggie Watts: 即兴表演并非仅限于舞台表演,而是贯穿于生活的方方面面,从日常对话到处理困境,甚至拿起一支笔这样简单的动作都包含着即兴创作的元素。他认为,即兴表演的核心在于对当下真实自我的表达,即使运用不同的声音或方式,也要保持真诚。他认为,真理存在于不同事物碰撞的瞬间,而感知是理解真理的关键。在面对困境时,即兴表演能帮助人们重新诠释情境,保持积极乐观的心态。他鼓励人们打破常规思维,赋予事物新的意义,不局限于表面的价值,并以乐高积木的例子来比喻这种创作过程的自由与开放性。他分享了自己在TED演讲中如何根据即兴表演的原则调整内容,并鼓励观众随时随地进行即兴创作,享受其中的乐趣。他用轻松幽默的语言,结合音乐和表演,将深刻的哲学思考融入到轻松愉快的氛围中,启发人们以更开放、更具创造性的视角看待生活。
