improvisation.

some of you have heard that i'm taking part in a improv workshop once a week for the next two months. i had my second session last night. i've learned a ton already, mainly about myself, but it all relates to the act of improv or acting in general. one of the prevailing themes i'm seeing and learning about myself is that i need to trust myself. i tend if given enough time to second guess myself and my decision. last night it really came through during one scene where i was given a chance to step back after doing a minute or so of improv and watch someone else work with my decision, they did great, but i was already second guessing it and when i had to take back over the scene, i "ruined" it because my mind had decided to dwell on my "bad" choice.

but the best part of all this is : i'm learning! and i'm really enjoying it. i had a few scenes/character developments that i felt went really well, especially for my second time doing improv ever. and i just really really had a great time. the people are great. oh yeah, they all go to my church, so its a great way to meet people of likemindedness.

on a blog note. i am sorry for not writing lately. and i've actually had some fun things to write about, but i'll just start here today and hopefully continue on with a few more blogs this week.
