Last night we started the first in our series of eight workshops for improvisation.  We packed the rehearsal room with 20 brave souls who came to learn, participate, and just in general have fun with The Distracted Globe. 

These are not only educational for all our funny participants, but I found it to be a learning experience as well.  I learned that you can always use "I need you to…" to get a scene going and to push it forward as well as some new tips on making offers, some of the beginning of Improv from Johnstone, had a good review of CROWW (Character. Relationship. Objective. Where. When), but I mostly learned from the group.

Indeed, I learned last night the best pick up line in a retirement home "Nice Quilt", and about a great new organic cereal called "Granola Bears", and that all ladies carry poster board in their make up kit.  However, being a car buff, the secret release of the new concept cars that are environmentally friendly was the biggest learning experience.  I cannot wait to see the "Tree" by Dodge, the "Vampire"- optional convertible by Chevy, and of course my favorite GMC’s new "Cranberry Apple".

Thanks to everyone who came to the first workshop- remember we skip next week for that big sports thingy that is happening!!!  check back to see if your creations make the blog!
