Acting class

It was good! The couple who run it are very nice and normal. There are 11 of us, 7 guys and 4 girls. There's a wide age range and it's a good mix of various types of people, mostly professionals but a few more working class types. Only one really untalented strange guy, but he makes up for it with totally off beat perceptions. Some exuberant good energy people and a few hang back types, but everyone participated admirably for the first class. My fears of encountering fears of a bunch of neurotic weirdo's was unfounded, in fact I may end up being one of the weirdest ones there...most of them seem pretty normal.
It was fun and just participating in it really got my juices flowing for a bit. Most of them have never done anything like this before so I had the advantage of experience...not that it helps all that much in term of being good but at least it wasn't all strange to me. We did some typical warm-ups and some improvisation...at which we were mostly terrible. My goal of achieving a sort of workman-like mediocrity seems within reach.
