Ant colony

Improv actors should behave like ants in a colony. Every player is an agent of the group mind.

Bart Van Loon on 3rd May 2015, Würzburg (DE)

How can an ant colony be so effectively managed? How do most distributed systems in computer science work? The key is that every part is doing its best, without having all the information or taking all responsibility. There's no question even on who is in charge. Nobody is ever. Yet everybody is all the time.
