With Level 4, I continued my focus on experiential learning and just trying to incorporate what I heard as opposed to logically thinking about. Â Our particular class was about the Evente, which lends itself to creating better improvisers for any form.
I also learned more from the 4 performances than I did from any of the classes (you can’t beat actual experience).  Here’s what I remember.

Class Notes
- Decide who you are.  What are your character’s friends like? Parents? What do they do for fun?  What’s their favorite color?  You don’t have to do scenes about these things, but if you decide them it will inform your decisions.
- Don’t forget to endow yourself.
- The way the opening is played and the first scene set the tone for the entire show.
- Follow the fun.
- The longer you talk about an event, the more the audience wants to see it and the bigger the letdown if you never get to it.Â
