So far I have 3 students signed up for my Sex and Improv Class Saturday Dec 16 1-4pm at The Hideout and they are all ladies.

Suprizing but awesome.

Where my boys at?

I have a conflict, otherwise I would be there.

I've been wanting to get back into workshops since I've not taken any in a few months.

But I must ask, what is Sex and Improv?

Here's more about my workshop:

SEX, ROMANCE, AND IMPROV: (December 16 Saturday 1-4pm) I have seen more improvisers get injured onstage during kissing scenes than fight scenes. Romantic situations come up on stage almost every night, yet stage kisses and romance tends to be awkward or tame. In this workshop we will learn how to use the power of suspense, pacing, and closeness to execute fantastic romance scenes. We will work on subtext, mantras, stage kisses, and more. Prerequisite: Fresh breath. $20

I would have signed up, but that's perilously close to the Date Of Importance. Can I go down as a definite maybe, and swoop in if I'm able?

Clearly Majcher has already mastered certain aspects of Improv Love.

I'm in, though I will have to leave early, probably right about the time we're getting to onstage boot-knocking.

This is Sara, NOT Amy.

Oops! I overslept!! (along several other gals) I am sorry, I'll pay for this class, but couldn't get out of bed after the Ladies of AIC Slumber party. We stayed up until 5:30am and there was no way I was going to make it to this class: December 2nd Physical Improv w/ Asaf Ronen. Sorry Asaf!!

The 10 am improv class was some stretchy nonverbal goodness! Thanks Asaf!

I have 5 girls and 5 boys signed up for Sex, Romance and Improv. I have 2 slots left, unless Marc has his baby before Dec 16, and then there are 3 slots left.
