Status (Improv)

Yesterday in Improv, we studied status and how it effects characters' relationships with each other.

One exercise that helped us to further understand this concept was the "Blind Teacher" exercise. Each of us went up alone as a teacher of any kind of subject. We had to enter with our glasses somewhere on us other than our face. It's the first day of school and we have to start teaching class immediately. The only problem is, we accidentally walk into the Board of Directors meeting three separate times - each time lowers our status because of the humiliating mistake that we keep making. Between the first and third time we enter, our status goes from an authoritative figure to a submissive and embarrassed figure.

In other news... SNOW!!!
