Improv Day!

 Good work on the improvs today, everyone!  I know improv is scary, because you have no idea what is going to happen, but that's why it's fun, too.  Remember when you used to pretend, you didn't worry about what people thought -- improv is the same thing.  If you are having fun, we will have fun, too.  Today, we saw one scene in Drama 9 in which a caterpillar tried to eat a couple of people.  The group broke every rule, but it was very entertaining, nevertheless.  We won't remember what the rules were or what the particular game was, but we'll probably remember how much fun we had watching it.

We are so lucky to have our three classroom helpers in our drama classes.  Make sure you tell them how much you appreciate their efforts.  Having them in class to encourage us makes the day that much more pleasant.  Thanks a lot, girls!

Drama 8:  You should think of an appropriate costume for the character you are playing in Creation of the World.  Use your imagination!  (It's too bad we can't use our props and costumes in the theatre, but we can't because of the COVID rules -- so be creative with your own wardrobe!)

Drama 9:  Think of something you might be able to use as a lazzi (a comic bit).  It could be a catch phrase (like Joey always says "how you doin'?" on "Friends"), or it could be an action, like a special handshake or a gesture that you often use.

Spoon River cast!  Please read Taylor's emails carefully.  We are getting to the end of filming and you need to come to your appointment for your scene with the proper costume and with your speech ready to go.  Crew:  I would like to have a crew meeting next week -- it looks like we'll be editing over the holidays and it would be good to touch base before we stop classes for the year 2020.

Have a great weekend, everyone!
