Making up for lost time

We had another improv class last night, and I totally felt out of practice for a while. You wouldn't think that canceling class for one week would make a huge difference, but it seemed to. All four of us seemed a little stiff, a little slow, a little low on energy for the first few minutes.

We finally all warmed up a bit, and had some good moments. Caleb and John did a sketch about Wal-Mart and diners, which had some funny parts. Jeff mostly tried to get us to try new techniques, like doing one action during the whole scene, agreeing profusely with everything the other improviser said, and having all four of us try doing a scene together.

My shining moment? I'm sitting on a chair on the stage, looking at an improv newspaper (meaning I'm pretending to read a paper that's not really in my hands) and John asks if the seat next to me is taken. I slid over into that chair and said, "Now it is."

Oh, and since class was canceled last week, our showcase has been pushed back to May 2. I'll find out the time soon!
