I'm a relatively new (1 year+) improviser from central NJ. Almost all my experience has been from taking an Improv Foundations (101) class several times with wonderful guys from a local troupe, with performances at the end. I'm starting to branch out a little, and hoping/planning/working to form a practice group that can become a performing troupe. Still occasionally surprised that a 40-mumble suburban chick like me has managed to stumble into improv, and enjoys it a crazy amount. My learning has almost all been about short form and games (as opposed to "the game"), but I've gotten to see a little long form and find it fascinating and scary and enticing. I'm sad that my schedule and finances don't let me get into the city (around here, "the city" is NYC) for classes and performances, but I'm trying to suck all the marrow I can out of the bones of the NJ improv scene for now.
Hi!
P.S. Oh! Almost forgot... so, yeah, I'm not in (or anywhere near) Austin, but y'all do improv and talk about improv and enjoy improv and obsess about improv and there's not a lot of places online to do that with an active userbase, and so here I am! Hope that's okay...
