Sketch to Improv | Improv from Below
https://improvfrombelow.wordpress.com/2015/06/23/sketch-to-improv
A translation of what I've heard into something I can understand. Memorable Scenes →. June 23, 2015. I went off script a couple times during a recent sketch show. In one instance, I responded to an unexpected event during the performance (a hanger fell) before returning to the main dialogue. In the other, I tried something out during a rehearsal and cleared it with both the sketch’s writer and fellow performers before repeating the line during the actual show.

A translation of what I've heard into something I can understand. Insight into the Eye Contact Conundrum. August 14, 2015. Inspiration came in many forms today, largely from seeing and talking with improviser friends who had moved from San Francisco to Chicago. All of us have been improvising for just under three years, and it doesn’t take much for our conversations to veer heavily into improv. Has a name for it: pinch pinch ouch. Later that evening, I went to see a show Damien was in called Fugue. This ...

Reboot | Improv from Below
https://improvfrombelow.wordpress.com/2015/04/15/reboot
A translation of what I've heard into something I can understand. April 15, 2015. So I decided to ask myself a simple question: why? I started thinking about what changed. Starting around June of 2014, I dropped other extracurriculars and replaced them with either improv or sketch comedy; goodbye, Biking, and see you later, Guitar. I also started performing consistently: at least every other week in June 2014 and by February 2015, nearly twice a week. This entry was posted in Improv. You are commenting u...

Taxonomy | Improv from Below
https://improvfrombelow.wordpress.com/2015/08/01/taxonomy
A translation of what I've heard into something I can understand. Reflections about Honesty in Scenework. August 1, 2015. Brian appeared to offer just what I assumed was not possible: a simple taxonomy that consists of four basic types of scenes, courtesy of the Miles Stroth Workshop.

A taxonomy could streamline th...

The Boiling Point: A Journey in Improv. Insight and reflection on Chicago's improv comedy scene. Critical Acclaim →. Auditions Part II: Tales from Behind the Desk. November 30, 2011. Last year, I wrote about improv auditions. From a performer standpoint. Earlier this month, I went through the audition process on the other side of the table. As the director of an upcoming show, I had to select a cast. It was not easy. You’re performing with people you don’t know, and B). The audience consists of 3-4 people.

The Boiling Point: A Journey in Improv. Insight and reflection on Chicago's improv comedy scene. The Sounds of Silence. End of the Rebellion →. May 25, 2010. If you are an improviser, you’ll audition for a slot on a team someday. When that happens, you’ll find yourself in a very weird place. Improv is a dance. People praise Fred Astaire and he was great. But Ginger Rogers had to do everything Fred did, backwards and in heels. Playing like Danny will make you invaluable to a team. All your teammates will ...
