Improv Update:
Don't Dream It's Over


Columbia University Building


My last class with the Dream Team was this week, and our graduation show is this weekend. Oh man, what a fun group of people. Oh man, I’m sad the past eight weeks of working together sped by so fast.

One of my goals in signing up for this Level 3 class was to have more fun than I did in my first Level 3 class. Mission accomplished! (Nope, reminds me too much of George W.) Success! The class was crazy-fun. I still feel some level of fear related to standing in front of an audience and “making stuff up,” but overall I think I’m having more fun with it this time around. So we’ll take that and call it success!

Now with fear tamed and fun championed, am I ready to move on to Level 4? Apparently not. The next Level 4 classes being offered didn’t fit with my schedule, and in a moment of (completely uncharacteristic) impulsivity this week – I signed up for a Level 1 class. At Another Theater. A theater I had previously decided I didn’t want to take classes through, a theater that has a different philosophy of Improv than what I’m used to. A theater where I don’t know (many) people. A theater that intimidates me (at least a little).

Stay tuned for this next phase of the Improv Adventure, beginning in two weeks.

Also stay tuned for bloggy thoughts on what may be my next Improv / Life goal: learning how to be MYSELF (and not someone else).
