Dear diary: improv improv improv. Improv? 8230;I thought you were born with a certain amount of artistic talent or ability. This talent couldn’t increase or decrease, it was just inherent. …[But rather] you cannot be afraid to be bad . You just have to realize your work isn’t finished yet and you need more practice. It takes courage to be imperfect. Http:/ www.looknohands.me. January 5, 2015. I still like you →. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here. Address never made public).

Dear diary: improv improv improv. Improv? Back line podcast, #16: 13:44. When I think about… troupes with 4 people in them… it seems like there’s always. Someone who’s falling down, bringing the lights, a clown, almost;. There’s usually one person who’s. Who’s kind of a cynic, taking a look at scenarios and pointing out how dumb they are;. There’s usually someone who… is. And then the last one is somebody who kinda. Holds the show together. I think that’s pretty consistent for most 4-person troupes.

Dear diary: improv improv improv. Improv? I can’t be both! I kind of am, though! Lately I’ve been reading about social anxiety and comedians. A study from 2009. Noted that a lot of (stand-up) comedians are introverts, which surprised the researchers, because what’s more traditionally extroverted than a someone who wants to be loud and funny in a spotlight? In short, comedians are (often) extroverts on stage but introverts in real life. Like most people, I have a public persona and a private persona.

PHIT 201 – Class #1 | Improv and tacos
https://groovineasy.wordpress.com/2015/05/31/phit-201-class-1
Dear diary: improv improv improv. Improv? PHIT 201 – Class #1. I’m standing outside a closed green door in a hot windowless hallway in central Philadelphia, listening to voices on the other side of the door go through a three-line scene exercise, and skimming old class notes on my phone. I have done zero improv in three months. No shows, no books, no classes, no practices, no nothing. I’m nervous and fidgety but strangely fearless. But that’s show biz, or something, right? We warmed up with Pass the Face.

I still like you | Improv and tacos

Dear diary: improv improv improv. Improv? I still like you. If someone posts a show photo on social media, and you weren’t at the show, is it okay to “like” the photo? Or is “liking” it saying “I support you, just not in any way that matters”? Follow-up question: does the okay-ness of you “liking” that photo matter if you missed the show for good reasons (like “I was on the other side if the country”) or bad reasons (like “I didn’t feel like going”)?

Dear diary: improv improv improv. Improv? On Sunday, my mono-scene class had its last show (at the Magnet, Level 4 and up get four shows, ‘cos you get to be a better performer by performing). It wasn’t great. When our instructor gave us notes afterwards, one of my classmates started apologizing, and the instructor broke to give us a quick pep talk instead:. Format and tagged class notes.

My scene partner is being crazy. What do I do? | Improv and tacos

Dear diary: improv improv improv. Improv? My scene partner is being crazy. What do I do? In our last Level 1 class, our instructor told us not to “comment on the scene,” e.g. when you don’t know how to react to what your partner is doing, and you respond, “hey man, I don’t know, you’re weird.”. 8220;What’s the difference between ‘commenting on the scene,’ which we. Do, and ‘calling out the crazy,’ which we. 8221; I asked. He paused to consider. “It’s a fine line,” he mused. Here’s my understanding:.
