It's 1 am, I have to be up at 7am for this new book keeping job that I'm training for. So, I shouldn't really be writing right now haha. I was out late watching a UCB improv show. it's the usual thing that a few of us do after class on Tuesdays. Today in class we were simply rehearsing for our show and doing mini scenes over and over again. After doing that all afternoon and making my share of mistakes, watching these more seasoned players just put me in awe. How do they do it? How do they think so quickly? Where do they get so many ideas and how do you develop that kind of support?! I suppose it's just a honed craft. I've decided that I best like the mono-scenes with two people(One 20 min scene instead of a bunch of little ones). They get to explore an idea more fully and its more entertaining to watch, for me at least. That's my goal. I'd like to do a successful mono-scene someday with one other improviser.
I am most excited about my actor friends. Our graduation show is on Sunday and we are a little sad it's ending. A couple of my classmates signed up for the same 201 class with me, and it starts next Tuesday so we don't miss a beat and we can still come to our Tuesday night shows. Yay!!
We had a sub in our class today, which I actually enjoyed because he was so business and talked less and had us perform more. Some of my colleagues were however very thrown off and it created a tinsie bit of drama. I am excited for our improv graduation 101 show on Sunday. I know a lot of them are nervous and not inviting anyone. I however am letting everyone I know to come. Hey, I'm not performing for an empty room, ugh. And I actually think we are all quite talented, even if we are "beginners."
I want to appologize because I feel so much of this blog is ranting. However, I promised myself I would be as honest as possible, even if its not ideal or pleasant. And you know what, acting is a lot of overcoming everything and that gets exhausting fairly quickly. Maybe someday cooler things will happen to me and it will get more positive. Anyway, everyone needs to sometimes get their actor frustration off their chest and what better place to be as personal as possible than the internet??? hmmm????
Anyway, for tonight, I feel amazing. I feel like anything can happen. Maybe because I saw a great show, maybe because I'm in 201, so I'm on to the next thing? Maybe because I am realizing the wonderful people I'm meeting and I'm so grateful? Maybe because I looked cute in my red chuck taylor high tops and I actually felt my hair in the wind as it blew in the excitement of the Los Angeles evening breeze? Too much? Anyway, I'm so excited for the future and I wouldn't want to be anyone else!!!
