Improv

I really enjoyed class on wednesday! Lacy had us do a bunch of really fun improv games. I think my favorite game was the easiest one. The Name game. The Name Game is simple. All you do is do a motion and say your name, after you say your name the class repeats the motion and your name. It s a really good way to remember names. I'm pretty sure I remember half the class now. After a few games we sat down and talked about how the games related to writing. It was interesting to talk about. When you are doing improv, you are thinking on your feet, and you are also doing that when you are writing.  Some of the games you had to be very creative and come up with new ways to think. The same goes when you are writing. You want to keep things fresh and new, so you come up with new ideas to write about. 
     After the regular talk Lacy put us in two different groups, in an outside circle and an inside circle.  The outside circle took notes, while the inside circle talked. Lacy asked the group questions, and I have a map on who talked after who. At first they all went in a circle, then the talking became more sporadic as they got more comfortable talking. It was interesting to see who talked the most and who talked after who. I liked that everyone pretty much had the same amount of time to talk. It was hard to keep track of who was talking. The girl next to me didn't know they're name so she kept asking me who was who. I could see how it could be difficult if you don't know they're name. you could see that I didn't know someones name and I put Black Shirt instead haha.
