Okay, that streaming thing I shared yesterday ended up being way cooler than I recognized. Basically, each of the major Los Angeles schools (The Miles Stroth Workshop, UCB, Groundlings, Second City, iO West) are represented and they each discuss their approach to improv in philosophy and training. I’ve only watched the first 25 minutes…. pretty great so far.
A must watch.
UPDATE: I just finished watching this, and when I get some free time I’ll pull some of the highlights for all the non-nerds who don’t want to watch an hour and 20 minute video on improv. That being said, I’m feeling pretty proud to have trained and performed with the Miles Stroth Workshop for the past year and a half. Miles always speaks in concrete terms and with the utmost clarity. Plus, he always has a great Del story in his back pocket.
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to take a class with him, this video gives a taste, and I highly recommend checking it out and his school.
Hey! I finally have my own show to promote!
Soulmates & Scary.Killer.Nice will be performing at the iO West mainstage, Monday 2/25 at 8PM. It’s $5 in advance, or 2-for-1 at the door if you show them this Facebook event:

It’s going to be a fantastic hour of improv. Hope to see you there.
