The Offer
Any piece of information — verbal, physical, emotional — that one performer gives another to build on.
Known for
- Johnstone: every moment on stage is an offer, whether intentional or not; performers are responsible for what they accidentally offer as well.
- Strong offers are specific and consequential; weak offers are vague ('Hi'). Johnstone's classic example: 'Good morning' vs 'Good morning, great heavens Frank, did they let you out?'
- The building block vocabulary of the Johnstone school — older than Yes, And as terminology.
