Play is vital

I haven't taken an improv class since I got back from my summer class in Chicago. Granted it was a Second City class and you'd think that would be enough to keep me going for a while.

But it isn't.

I tried getting a group together at my college but it didn't work out. And I am currently very jealous of some of my summer improv classmates who have a group going at their college. Happy for them, but envious.

I need to do improv. I have the urge to agree and accept, move the spotlight, heighten and explore, find the heat & the weight.

Sometimes I can't believe I even dared to take an improv class a little more than a year and a half ago. It's outside this preconceived personality I had set up for myself all throughout my childhood.

But I proved myself wrong. And now it won't go away. Sometimes I wish there were a few more places to take classes. Because if I don't have the time or can't afford to take a class this winter, and I have to wait until the spring (or dare I say summer!) I might just go crazy.

Might.

EDIT: Can I just add that Second City is coming to my lovely city soon, and performing an original show about it. AND Mick Napier is directing the show. For real. Sayjal Joshi, a woman I saw in the Second City touring company last fall, is also in the show. Loved her! Can't wait.
