I had the most fun EVER in Scene Study today. We were working on high status/low status (if you want to know more about that concept, it's AMAZING, just ask me about it i'll explain in more detail) using improved scenes where status was assigned. I don't know if you understand what status is, but think of it this way...High status is like the Queen, low status is like a street rat. Also, a high status person puts off the air of "I bite" while the low status person puts off the air of "I'm not worth the trouble." Maybe that makes more sense now? Anyways, the first improv I did was a low status receptionist in a doctor's office, and i had to deal with 2 high status people and a low status person. It was SO much fun, and the audience really loved it. The second time I did it I was a high status patient, and I was dealing with a high status receptionist and a high status other patient. When I was "checking in", the high status patient came over and cut me off telling the receptionist they had no more paper towels in the bathroom. I said "excuse me sir, i'm TRYING to check in." Then after that I went over and confronted him about it, it was hilarious. My teacher said it was great :). I really love that class, and I really like doing the improv stuff...finally i'm in a situation where it doesn't have to be funny to 5-10 year olds. That's what I always used to do in Round House, we'd play to the kids. It's a lot easier when you can do serious improv as well. Anyways, I got lots of homework to do. Oh, Mary Corsaro caught me yawning today, almost made me cry cuz I don't ever yawn in her class- that was the first time I hadn't caught myself since I started taking the class, and she gutted me for it. Damn. Oh well, she got like 4 other people too. I can't decide whether she's nice or mean...and whether it's a matter of respect or there's no getting around it. We'll see with time I suppose. Yup, gotta do the homeowork, maybe i'll write later....we'll see
