The last three classes are just as wonderful as the first three soooo here they are.


Acting III: Sketch and Theatrical Comedy
 Our professor for Acting has written a few Improv/acting books that we are encouraged to read. He reminds me of the comedian Lewis Black's character in the movie Accepted. If you have not seen it too bad cause I can't describe him any better. He swears like a sailor on drugs but is a very intelligent man. He is definitely NOT afraid to share his opinions. I'm liking him a lot. 

Physical and Vocal Training for Comedy
Jet is our professor and she is the most hippie dippy person I've seen thus far in the theater world. She's a free spirit and has the yoga instructor mentality with added swear words for comfort. This classroom is similar to a dance studio with the mirrors and wooden floors. We did some crazy exercises and mind games aka you have to give up the fact of being a normal cool and start gettin' weird.  For one exercise we all laid on our backs with the lights off. Jet said to make a sound scape which meant everyone had to create their own noise or voice to create one flowing rhythmic beat as a class. Bizarre but very cool.

Writing Comic Scenes
This class is taught by a younger guy named Andy. He is really down to earth and is a disgustingly talented writer. Our first homework assignment was to write two monologues, one similar to ourselves and the other, opposite ourselves. Our class is four hours long and starts at 9 am which might a bit difficult but I'll keep ya posted YA'LL!
