Anyone want to do Schtick at Esfenn Feast of the Arts?

[learnteach]

Hi!  I'm writing you to find out if you would be interested/available/have strong feelings about a "schtick" class/practice at the Esfenn Arts Feast on February 10th.

I'm inspired by 12th night, especially how well the Gawaine and the Green Knight masking went--especially with Uther, who only saw a script and adlibbed or schticked the rest.  It was fun!  The thought is to take several simple tales--To Be Determined in part by this group--and/or a few Shakespeare scenes, and to define basic characters based off of the Commedia characters

BUT!  To base the Characters off SCA stereotypes.

Once we had some characters, we would work on some basic schtick or routines between us, then pick a story or two and give it a whirl.  We wouldn't be completely accomplished, but it would be fun.

Anyway, I think we could have fun for an hour are two--would you be interested?   The autocrats are seeing if there's time to do this.

Well, I'm going to the event, I've done commedia, and I improv decently, so if you need a spare person....

As I recall, you once did a fine imitiation of a certain old used duke.

Hey! I'm the autocrat -- how come this is the first I've heard of it? :->

Still, sounds neat! It's not a huge site, so you'd be schticking for an audience, probably. :->

Because I'm throwing an idea around;

Helblonde and you have to tell me it's OK to do.

Because you *sniff* haven't been reading the comments on my LJ. Call me tonight and we can talk about it. And the menu. And stuff.

I did, just in reverse order! :->

Tonight = bad. Music practice until 9:30 or so. And tomorrow I plan on working really really really late to make up for the stuff I didn't get done because they gave us a day off.
