O wad some Power the giftie gie us
Last night, SF Improv gathered to watch the videotape of our last show and critique our performance. Unfortunately, the sound was accidentally not recorded. Fortunately, that offered an opportunity we probably wouldn't have otherwise availed ourselves of to observe just the physical aspects.
It was nice to find out that some things I'd had some concern about weren't true. I didn't look fat. I didn't display any awkward physical tics. I didn't look like I didn't know what to do with my arms. I had thought my stage presence was probably adequate, but it's actually pretty good.
One thing I will make effort to change: I would always take stage left and tend to stay there. (Another player did the same with stage right.) And I could do much more to establish the setting and interact with the environment (all mimed, as is usual in improv).
And, of course, you can see the results for yourself February 8; mark your calendars now; plug plug.
What would ever make you think you look fat? To look fat, you'd *need* some body fat (and I've checked --- you don't have any)
