Normalizing Offers

When you first start learning how to become an improviser, you are taught to see and notice everything around you. To ignore an offer is to block it. But just because your character ignores an offer doesn't mean that you are killing someone's idea. In the beginning of a two-hour story you need to be able to have the option of NOT calling out how characters are treating one another. By not acknowledging strong characteristic offers, it allows you to create highly dysfunctional relationships that your characters can realize later on in the story.
