Saturday (8/18/07) 8:26pm - ... wherein Peter wants to do improv again.

So I was thinking about doing improv again.  Not in an "I must rule all of Improvania!" sort of way, but in a less ambitious, "I'm here to have fun" way.

The problem is, I haven't *done* improv in three years now -- instead, I've kept busy with writing.  My motives for getting back into improv are pretty much as listed here.  In addition, the scene seems a lot livelier these days (it was a bit moribund when I bailed).  And frankly, my imagination seems a bit broken lately.  Improv usually helps remedy that.

The problem is, I don't quite know what I should do to get back into the scene.  Yes, I know, I shouldn't be afraid of massive, public failure -- but trying (say) to muscle my way into a slot on Micetro after a three-year absence seems a bit drastic (and unfair to the current performers).  There has to be a way to ease back into things.  Take one of the classes, maybe? and/or hang out at the Hideout's Tuesday improv jams?

I'm nonplussed.  I guess when this entry mirrors onto facebook, I'll tag Mr. Lamb & Mr. Crouch, and see if they have advice.  Or maybe I could ping the improv forums, if I wanted to cast the net wider.

We'll see.

That was AWESOME. I was sitting here laughing my head off while [info]saratchka was telling me how idiotic it was. She's right of course, but that doesn't make it any less funny. Now I totally need to photoshop my PhD to change it from "Physical Chemsitry" to "Kicking Your Ass!" :)
