The improv went really well today! I felt that I have redeemed myself from my last 2 performances which were pretty mediocre. The scene worked well because it showed a regular guy excitedly preparing for a romantic dinner, but this guy happens to be a little over-conscious about cleanliness and germs. With the music playing in the background and me singing while wearing rubber gloves and cleaning it allowed me to be more dynamic onstage. When Shannon showed up we were able to have a pretty responsive and reactive dialogue. I also kept in mind my relationship with her and to really relate to her as if she was my sister. It worked really well. My only note was that I tended to try to explain things instead of being present in the moment and expressing how I felt or responding to her emotions. This was also one of my major notes last year as well. I guess it stems from my real life behaviour of always trying to talk my way out of emotional situations instead of dealing with it.
I’ll have to fix that.
i read your earlier entries and i have to tell you not to take jack nicholson’s character as an example of someone with ocd. it’s just a hollywood representation and not entirely accurate. props for researching, though!
