I really appreciate this.

I do not technically do improv I facilitate and support group dialogue. In that context “Yes and” is vital to exploring new connections and understanding. It is also important to periodically pause and check what if forming so far that I/we are saying yes to. Each statement or action may evolve the “what we are saying Yes to”

In dialogue there are many breakthroughs but two important ones are first time each person realizes their power to declare the “yes” for themselves and the group and then their responsibility to strive to be in the space of “yes and”

I like your image of “reckless yes” as a way to practice really being in a state of “Yes, And” empowering each speaker to impact and drive the dialogue in that moment while letting it go in the next.
