* ambition and inspiration *
After just returning from New York I have been inspired to begin an improv Journal. I had one in the off-topic section but I stopped writing in it. I am Erin Anderson from the SLC Skirts. The blonde one..
The Del Close marathon gave me an entire new look on improv. I met and saw so many phenomenal improvisors during my visit to New York. I am also really looking into moving out of Utah to further my experience in improv among other things.
I realized that the greatest thing about my troupe is the love :love: and the support that we show for each other on and off of the stage. We are there because we want to be there and because we are having fun and loving what we do.
I think that after performing with the SLC Skirts we were all a little hard on ourselves but Jesse, Ryan, Austin, and Ross White really pulled us out of that quick. Well they did for me anyway. The entire trip they were supporting us and encouraging us and I could not have possibly asked for more. :up:
I think that I shared a lot of bonding time with the girls which just makes me want to be on stage with them even more. I love those girls.
On Monday I took a class with Billy Merrit and some of the North Carolina Crew and it was superb. I had never played with anyone from North Carolina before but I think that we jumped into scenes together very well and I took a lot of notes. I would really like to show some of the KYSOFF people what I learned and try some things. But I do not think that our director would give me the time to do that in our rehearsals, so I was thinking that maybe I will organize it on my own time if people are interested. It is very much worth it and I would love to try some things in long form.
This weekend I will be playing Short Form in Clearfield with the Quick Wits. I always love playing with them because they bring such a positive attitude to the improv world which makes my anxiety to get on stage grow more and more. I remember talking to Ryan about how after watching all of this long form and how much you can really do with it all and how entertaining it is, I was not interested in Short Form anymore. Then he told Ross to save Short Form for me and Ross passed on some very helpful advice to me. I love these people.
This past week has given me a whole new outlook on my improv and it also reminded me on why I love it so much. I did not get to meet everyone that I wanted to but I think that there is still plenty of time for all of that in the future.
I do not have a whole lot of time to write more because I am at work. But I just wanted to introduce myself and begin my Improv Journal. And to just reminess on my New York trip. There was nothing bad about it. I even got to see some old friends which was truly a blessing. Thanks everyone. :blush:
