Lag...

Does it seem to anyone else that summer is a lag in improv. Fewer people, Fewer shows... even the people that come to rehearsals seem to have a lack of energy. Wonder why.

It seems to me though, and perhaps this is being a bit harsh, that if you are going to be a negative nelly at rehearsal, that it would behoove you and everyone else if you just stayed home.

As far as it is now getting toward the fall and school starting... It seems like improv is gearing up. The shows that were lacking, recently have been amazing-tastic. Improvisers are coming back, everyone seems to have more energy, and there are TWO improv festivals coming up in the KC area alone.

How much of this has to do with audiences too?

We all know about the energy that is transferred from the improvisers to the audience and back. During the summer months is the audience just a void... not returning any of the energy?

I don't think so.

I will be interested to see how this goes next year...
