Share a favorite 'improv epiphany'

I had been researching, studying, performing, breathing improvisation for many years when I first encountered permaculture. As I began to learn the basic principles, a lightbulb went off in my head. Aha! Work WITH nature, not against. Waste equals food. The problem is the solution. These are the very same concepts we work with in improvisation. Thus began my life path of merging my two greatest passions: arts and ecology.
