I'm proving a little bit

I had a tough time at improv class last night.  I just couldn't find "the groove".  From feedback, I think I was trying to be funny instead of just being.  You know- trying to come up with that zinger, that top laugh, the climax to the scene.  That made me less generous and less genuine...a fatal combination.  I got into this class to push myself and improve as an actor, not just to do improv.  I'm glad to say I'm being stretched.  I hope I'm getting better.

This Friday is the read-through for "Nevermore".  I'm excited and a little anxious.  I haven't really stretched my acting muscles in a while. Not only that, but this is an entirely new group of people.  New dynamics; new expectations; new egos to match my own sometimes overstretched one.  Saturday I'll post an analysis of the sitch.
