shows last night
Latchkey Kids had a rehearsal with Chris Trew that was, in my humble opinion, great. However, some people had some problems. This was mostly miscommunication. We should probably have run the form first and workshopped that. As it was, some people thought he was a little harsh. To which I say: bullshit. We had some crappy edits that he called ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
Yesterday was a long improv day. Started with an unfocused Latchkey Kids rehearsal. Our coach forgot it was Thursday, so we did a crappy warm up and a not great run through. Then we hung out at K24, which was a lot of fun. Headed to iO at 7 for the last Level 6 class. We combined both classes (Monday had missed Labor day, so Craig had them ( Read more... ) -
Busted!
Monday night Ben and I went to scout the X-ecution. As soon as the lights went down, they played a video which included photos of all of the contestants from the audition. I leaned over to him right then and said I wasn't going to make it past this week. Tuesday night I actually had a few people coming to vote. I was afraid they'd say something ( Read more... ) -
ohmygodohmygodohmygod
So, in this little experiment tonight, I just wanted to make it through the first round of scenes. I wanted the host to ask what my prison name was, and I would say Crash! I figured as soon as I went on stage JD Walsh or the host dude would know that they've never seen me before and thus I should immediately exit the stage. Then I made it past ( Read more... ) -
I can't believe I'm doing this
Yesterday I went to iO to support some friends who are competing in this. There were 12 people up on the mainstage, making it pretty crowded. I thought to myself, hmmm, I wonder if they'd even notice a 13th person? The dress is business suits. So, if I wore one and went on stage looking like I knew what I was doing, how long would it take for ( Read more... ) -
Go vote for Kaci!

She made it to the final 3 and is neck and neck with a guy who is not nearly as cool as she (no offense, guy). So go vote!
update: she won!

UCB L-2
Started my first UCB class tonight. Brett Christenson is the teacher. Although we worked on the game, he stressed not to sacrifice the scene for a joke. That the most important thing is the relationship. I guess I was a little surprised by that. I knew UCB was all about the game, and iO is all about the relationship, but Brett really made them ( Read more... ) -
1000 Ways To Die
So, I got the part from my all time best call back. And my scenario? Death by botox! -
I'm not done with my 5B notes but...
L 6 is frickin' amazing! Cacky is my coach, and I am stealing some of his warmups and exercises to use when I eventually teach and coach. There are so many good people in my class, I can't believe it! There was one guy in particular I did a couple of really fun scenes with. Faith (who is taking L5 at the same time) sorta knows him and brought ( Read more... ) -
5B with Miles Stroth
After this session, Miles will no longer be teaching at iO. He will have workshops at different theaters. If you weren’t able to take him at iO, I highly recommend taking his workshops. Something Chris Trew always says when he coaches/teaches is, “Take what you want from what I have to give you. Throw away the stuff that doesn’t work for you. ( Read more... )
