As I continued further into the Magnet program, I decided to try to learn more experientially (rather than logically), so I took fewer notes and focused on how I was feeling in scenes—what worked / what didn’t.  Still there were some notes that were too good to not write down.

Class Notes
- Watch the Breakfast Club—its all about statuses
- Homework: try to recognize what your natural status is and then play with it and do other statuses
- Your intro in a scene / group game, is your promise to the audience of who you are
- Order of Importance of Improv Elements: 1) relationships, 2) details, 3) pattern
- The less you understand about what someone initiates the more you should imitate what they are doiing
- Take a breath after your initiation and remind yourself that improv is about the relationships not the premises from the opening
- Make every move matter through your reactions
