I had my 201 graduation show today at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater. It was a great pay-off to a long, hard battle of trying to learn to think on your feet. For a while, I was having my doubts about continuing on with my improvisation education. I guess i had hit a wall of some sort. Thankfully, I got my second wind and a lot of great help from a practice group that I absolutely love.
I started to get my bearings and things weren't so heartbreakingly difficult. To me, improv is like any other game. Like in basketball, when you first pick up a ball, you can barely ever make a shot, dribbling is slow-going, and you always get picked last. But, after some helpful tips and constantly doing lay-ups in the driveway, you can feel things getting easier.
Today's show felt great. I feel like I am getting better.
