okay okay yeah well fine you’ll make it
funny sure okay what else
snails friend or food okay
factor you ever had a snoot I don’t
can’t have pets at my apartment solo no
snails
no okay pate that’s that’s it just
paints paints okay alright
how golf made me a better lover I don’t
think I want a true story
oh yeah alright okay okay okay
algebra algebra like it’s just like a
algebra class yet my friend Barbara
she’s a teacher and she’s just
workshopping some stuff okay algebra
class we’ll find some and we’ll make
we’ll do some improv comedy with those
fantastics talks that’s great
alright so um we’ll share that with Amy
yeah and then when she gets here okay
thank you all right thanks thanks
Kimberly Wow um you know actually now
that I’m thinking about it I might have
to accompany yo-yo ma on us piece for a
fundraiser Oh on that day
that’s that’s okay yeah I might have to
put water in bottles and put flowers on
them oh that would be that sounds pretty
yeah cuz I don’t know if I’ll be free on
that day hey Amy are you uh we should
tell her about these and see what she
thinks
yeah you know she’s usually a good judge
of you know what’s gonna work yeah I
mean everybody loves kids they do
yeah yeah I bet we can work something
out the cute kid yeah yeah Amy okay it’s
living the dream yes and feel like we’re
right in the middle of our dream coming
through I had this dream last night
vision yeah this was the dream it was I
wasn’t wearing pants but mostly the rest
of it is yeah right here yeah yeah so
the other one I was thinking about the
algebra class yeah I was good at algebra
great yeah X’s and Y’s Newsies you
should do that one you know I actually
had a thought instead of using variables
you could use animals like three bunnies
how much does a bunny equal that kind of
thing oh hey Amy everybody so Amy um uh
we met with Kimberly yeah these are kind
of the list of talks that she gave us
and we’re we’re kind of struggling to
kind of figure out how we can make that
stuff work do you want to take a look
and see if maybe you think I don’t know
we may not do it all right
well then we are deconstructing Barbara
thank you for welcoming us you guys
no stop applauding you guys okay don’t
and this we think this is a great idea I
mean the theme today is yes and which is
Jen mentioned this morning is the
foundation principle of improvisation
right your partner introduces an idea
creates a world creates a story we say
yes we immediately accept that reality
and we add to it and then they
reciprocate and our scenes build so
we’re really excited about being here
today about recapping a you know this
has been I don’t know I’ve been very
moved by inspired moved I cried a couple
of times this has been a great day so
we’re gonna make it hilarious you’ll see
that we have some of our notebooks
because I don’t know if you guys have
been here all day there have been 15
talks yes 15 you heard that correctly
and so whenever we heard a line or an
idea or an image or a picture or got an
idea for a character it’s hard to kind
of keep all of that together for this
you know 10 minutes that we’re gonna be
up here so we have some notebooks these
are not our scripts we haven’t planned
anything this is just for us to go whoo
I remember that idea and run out and try
something now to start what I’m going
from you guys is a give that’s something
the audience offers to us to get us
started what I’d like from you guys is
to think back on the whole day on a
soundbite a phrase a word or a couple of
words that you are going to remember
that are gonna stick in your brain and
just yell them out and we’ll kind of
figure one out and we’re gonna use that
