Good, bad, or otherwise.

Hello, Carley here for our first Level 3 class recap! Let’s step right in, shall we?

I am super excited on the way over to Deep Ellum, carpooling with the ladies Kim and Theresa. We’re all sharing the excitement of having four join and being reunited with our original class. So, there we were after waiting from not having class for two weeks, chatting it up with Clay and Amanda.
After a while I’m wondering where everyone is! It’s only Theresa, Kim, Teevee, Lashaunda and I who have shown up. BUMMER!

This was my dilemma. For most of this class I was so distracted by the fact that five out of eleven of us had shown up that I wasn’t as focused as I should have been. Which is totally my fault. I had just been so pumped about there being eleven of us, that when five of us were there I was just really disappointed. But guess what? I have NOT learned my lesson, now I am anticipating next Sunday even more to play with everyone!! Can’t wait, everybody!

What I came away with on Sunday was the understanding that recognizing patterns will come easier the more we play with them and watch them develop. Patterns are SO much fun, big or small. Especially watching other people who are good at bringing them back every single opportunity that they can. I totally appreciate the feedback from Clay after our scenes, because I always get to see the potential my scenes had. (haha!) He points things out that would have helped heighten the scene as well as things that we could have run with easily.

So what are patterns? Patterns are things that got laughs brought out over and over again! Whether it’s checking the time after someone insults you or accidently laughing at your last name. If it got a laugh, bring it back! It’s a lot like juggling as Clay said it. I found that it was important to pay attention (sorry, my bad). There was a lot to keep up with! We had to remember how to start a scene (didn’t think I’d have to hold onto that…) With primal truths, relationships, basically whowhatwhenwherewhy! LISTEN not just to your partner in the scene but to the laughs.

I’m trying to think this out as I type, I’m sure I’ll have a better understanding the further along we get in Level 3 (Holla!)
