First show down

Hey gang, although bumpy and rough at times, our first show is now a memory. Of course I wish my first hosting would have been better, but I'm glad I did it and am happy with some of it. Everyone has to have a first time, right? (Unless of course you don't want to host, but where's the challenge in that?) I'm sure our next show will be tighter. I'll see SOME of you Saturday ... Oh and don't forget, "When I party, I like to return stuff ....."

Bravo!

So . . . anyone want to share what improv structures you are thinking of presenting on Saturday? Anyone want to come early and help me set up mouse traps?

Welcome back, survivors. I see fun in our future!

The BINDAS Mnemonic - 1st Draft

I decided to take a stab at the reminder we were talking about last Saturday.

I think it's a good start, except it definitely needs an item about spacework with objects that aren't perfect.

Plus, it's someone else's name. I suppose if I want to do this Right, I should come up with the WRIGHT.

Plus, it might look goofy because I tried to get cute with an HTML table.

Anyway... Submitted for Your Consideration:

B	Before Playing
I	Initiate Connection
N	Nonverbal History (start in the middle)
D	Deal: Have One (take care of yourself first)
A	Always Trust: yourself, your partners, the process
S	Show, Don't Tell

One ..... more ...... time !!!

We've only got one more show boys and girls. Then it's off to the strange and wonderous land of auditions, where a room full of people compete for a handful of available spots. Even though it's set up to be brother against brother, teammate against teammate, I wish you all the best and I'll be proud of all of you, win, lose or draw. I'm pretty sure our troupe will change in some way, it always does. Kick some ass fellow Outtakes and remember : We're the extra value meal of the improv world: All the same great flavor at a fraction of the price. Go forth and be proud !!!!!!!!!!!
