IMPRO : last night
Last night we did some 'advanced games' at Impro.
Slow Motion Commentry.
Well this was more of a warm up.
Horizontal Split
Stage is split in two, when an actor leaves stage left, another actor enters stage right continuing the first actors reality. It's as though the stage had been moved left by a half, with the 'missing' section reapearing on the other side.
This was kind of OK, but only 1 of the 3 tries worked to any great degree - it's hard to get the energy levels up, to 'ride the absurdity curve.'
Touch to Talk
This was the first one of these scenes I've done that I actually thought worked well. I was a Secretary to AJ's Boss, and I took the high status role while the Boss was trying to fire me.
It does strike me that this is a _training_ game (some would argue that all games are training games...), as it's not really very entertaining to watch. It does, however, provide excellent experience, and adds to the vocabulary, for the actor.
I thought we did more than that, but I can't remember.
One little bitch - the covert decided to charge my $25 a class because I can only make it to 6 of the 10 workshops, even though I'm paying all in advance. If I'd paid for the whole term it would have only cost me $180. Thanks guys.
