DADS Podcast #7: Does participation increase the value of art? (Ben Bradley)
Manage episode 397710600 series 3381482
Representing Durham improv group Shellshock, the very talented and funny Ben convincingly argues for the specialness of art that is actively being created, such as that of improvised comedy, the phenomena of a social movement, or experiencing karaoke.
Fellow improviser Gabriel holds a similar view, while Will prefers art which has been perfected and ''sculpted''. He argues that improvised art should be viewed with the same lens as any other form, with its advantage being its likelihood of creating a ''moment of genius''.
It is within this context that Ben discusses the nature of improvisation and showcases his comedic sharpness and talent. I (Will) would recommend this to anyone interested in understanding/improving at comedy, and for getting a deeper insight into one of the most talented people I've ever seen.
