The students are doing very well.  They were having trouble working with improv structure for a while.  Many times during the scene a student would resort to either saying “no” or having the structure be a mentor-student relationship.  I think this is because it is easy to make a game out of these structures.  Like I said in class I would like to challenge the students by having them attempt more rewarding scene structure because I know they are up to it.

We have moved onto monologue work and the students have picked great ones.  I am paired up with a student so I will be helping her and I have offered my time to other students, none have asked for additional help, but hopefully soon they will.

The faultily member is great, but sometimes has poor time management skills.  She sometimes goes off on interesting and useful tangents, but it takes away from the students work time.  Just today on the 26th we managed to get through reading everyone’s monologues, it took three classes.  Now this could be due to how many students there are (17) on top of running an improv structure every class, so a lot of time is needed.  I am wondering how I can help manage time in the class so the students get their due time to work without stepping on my faculty member’s toes.
