Is New Zealand improv too polite? Yeah Nah, You Go is a round table discussion of professional improvisers exploring performative humility and confidence in the New Zealand improv industry. How does politeness affect the way we play? What are the strengths of weaknesses of our cultural norms? What is the difference between collaborative respect and artistic hesitance when we are playing as a team?
