With Level 4, I continued my focus on experiential learning and just trying to incorporate what I heard as opposed to logically thinking about. : 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.:
