Robot Parade Class

So Robot Parade is an improv class that is taught at the Roving Imp Theater. Some of my reflections from this class will be posted on this blog.
Robot Parade (04/20/2009)
Nuggets taken from the class tonight:

• No Laughing Onstage- it makes the audience not want to automatically, it is just a natural response that they have, so if you want to be funny- don't laugh.

• Edit Quickly- It is better to edit early than late. If you edit to early, you can ALWAYS bring the scene back if you want to, if you edit late then the scene is most likely dieing and your improv audience and actors with it.

And finally, for me this is the most important one:

• DON'T MAKE EVERY SCENE ABOUT CONFLICT- Make some happy scenes too. Conflict is easy, and it is a beginners move to ALWAYS have the scene about conflict... It can have a conflict without being ABOUT conflict.

So that's it. Not too bad for one class. Not too bad for the first 'actual' blog. :D
