Welcome to Week 3:
Offers and Blocking

For next class:

We’ll have a quick review of last class to refresh, and then we’re going to do a deep exploration of all the different kinds of offers in improv—as well as the opposite, blocking. We’ll definitely want to get folks up and playing with this!

To help you prepare for class:

Listen to your favorite songs on the drive over.
Eat before and bring water.
Show up a little early.

In class:

Please be off devices. Your messages will wait for you. This is time for you and your group.
Volunteer and ask questions.

If you don't mind staying up, let's head out for some food/drinks after class.

Food for thought:

Improv should be fun for everyone!
"I know there are a thousand ways to be fun and funny that don’t involve making people in the room deeply uncomfortable." ~Shana Merlin

To get more involved in the community:

In addition to Merlin Works Students & Alumni, you can join the Austin Improv Community Facebook group to connect with the AIC at large.
If you're a lady improviser, we also have a closed lady improviser group. Add Shana on Facebook, and get an invite to join!
The Austin Improv Wiki provides a LOT of information about the Austin improv scene and history.
If you’re of a sporty persuasion, there is a weekly Austin Improv Soccer game! Join the Facebook group for more information and updates.

We're looking forward to seeing all of you and having fun in class! This is a great group and we're really enjoying everyone’s energy. So, be ready to bring more of that!

See you Monday!
