My darlings,
Today is my improv class and I am mucho excited about the incredible variety of people taking my class. Those are my favorite kind of classes. When you get in a room with people from completely different places and from completely different backgrounds, you get improv gold. Your pool of ideas and subconscious associations explodes into a strata of improv that can only be described as completely unexpected. Of course, getting that many different people on the same page is the challenge, but I’ve no doubt everyone operates on one basic truth; everyone likes to have fun.
So we’re going to have fun. I’ve got some of my favorite games from Random Acts, IO! and UCB picked out. It’s pretty basic, three hours isn’t enough time to cover too much for improv, but minds will be blown.
In other news SKETCHFEST IS LESS THAN A WEEK AWAY. This Sketchfest, as well as the following improv shows will be the last seasonal performance of the 2010 Flaws. Our old friend Brian Work will be coming down to join us and between the five of us this is going to be the performance of a lifetime (given that lifetime occurs between Aug 12th-13th). Again, the times and prices for Sketchfest are: August 12th and 13th (that’s a Thursday and Friday) 8pm Sketchfest show, which consists of the best sketches of the 09 and 10 season, and 10pm improv show. $10 at the door per show or only $15 if you go to both. Come gaze in wonder at the work of my teams twisty minds. Oh, and laugh too.
The day following the Sketchfest our dear Krista and Justin will be hopping on planes back to New York, Brian will be heading back home to Atlanta, Kevin will be exploring his dream of becoming a Land Cucumber (the Sea Cucumbers less popular cousin) and yours truly will be heading to Madison Wisconsin to sample the cheese, spend some quality time with his favorite isthmus, and watch his only sister get married.
Until we meet again,
Dave
