We went over the Armando, Living Room and Montage.

The four Warm-Ups we did this time were:

1. Transmutation Tag
2. Sorting Hat
3. Character Circle
4. Hogsmead

I solemnly swear I’m up to no good.   In this rehearsal we learned about entering scene without having an idea and discovering the scene instead of inventing. Then for the rest of the rehearsal I introduced the improv performers to three long form formats: the Armando, the Living Room Format, and the Montage. I talked about some of my efforts for outreach and retention.  Also, this episode is recorded on the same day I found out one of my improv friends died.  It struck me profoundly.  I talk about the unique bonds we create in the improv community. Finally, the episode ends with the improv thought … “water monster.”
