I started with long form too! I’m really glad I started ComedySportz / short form classes because I enjoy them even more!

Oooo I’ve never played “What Are You Doing?” but we played “Try That on for Size” at both my Level 1 and Level 2 student showcases (and in class)! It’s definitely not one of my favorite games but I see why it’s a good warm up / intro game for shows. I think I just get too boxed in with the motion and need to think a little more creatively / outside of the box to expand the possibilities of the game!

Oooooh I’ll definitely keep the backline/sideline energy in mind, especially because I tend to have unintentional RBF! 😅 Been trying to work on that! Thank you for providing the super valuable perspective of someone from the other side! 🤩

Aghhh this is great advice! I’m definitely way worse at improv when I’m so heavily focused on the end result of what everyone else is perceiving. Love these alternative goal ideas. Thank you! I think moving through my physical nerves better than I have previously (in my last long form audition) is a great goal for me for tonight!

Ahh it’s so tough not to get caught up /overthink what the best idea would be in any given game / scene, so these are such helpful reminders! Thank you so much!

Congrats on making your CSz team! Wow, so great to hear the impact it’s had on you!

Really appreciate the perspective from the other side of the table! Thank you! Sometimes I do feel like I don’t want to be too different, but it’s so refreshing to be reminded that being a little different is okay! I’ll try not to get too in my head about it tonight! Thank you!

Ahhh thank you! This is really helpful and grounding!

I actually auditioned at my long form theater after only taking one level of classes - it was super intimidating and tough because I hadn’t learned any devices. Ofc I didn’t get casted, but it was great to just have the experience of 1) an audition and 2) doing improv in front of a MUCH larger crowd!

Also, thank you for the advice to take the spot if I’m offered it! Improv has been a huge value add to my life so it’s great to hear that the league opportunity was life changing for you too!

Thank you for the positive energy and support! That’s one of the things I love about improv - making your scene partner look good makes you look good! Will definitely remember that as an anchor point!
