Improv

Today we got into groups of threes and decided on a location we are trying to get to and who we are as characters.

Leyla, Zoe and Flavia were cowboys in the old West riding on horses. Leyla is the dimwit of the three and is riding on a donkey. She was able to utilize her Southern accent and did a good job of sounding, to be honest, like a total idiot. Flavia was the deputy of the three and was constantly trying to take over the power of the Sheriff, played by Zoe. I found that there was a very good balance between the three characters, as one did not stand out more than the others. They made me cry until I laughed.

Tristan, Caleb, and Emily's group were lost in the forest. Tristan had doodled on the map and both Emily and Caleb were making very rude remarks to insult him. Although it came unexpected, Tristan was able to improvise and simply say, "That was hurtful" and develop his character.

My own group consisted of Garvin, Kosa, and myself and we were a group of college kids on their way to a house party. They did some pre-party drinking and Kosa was therefore drunk. He stumbled a lot and pointed in various directions. I was only tipsy and laughed at almost everything they said, although I did have a few serious moments in an attempt to seem sober. Garvin was the strict responsible friend who was trying to find the way. Unfortunately, they ended up at a slaughterhouse.
