I am learning so much from the classes. If any of you reading this were in our Level 4 last night...thank you. You ladies and gents are amazing. Their willingness to explore, trust me, trust themselves, trust each other, and to let go led to some phenomenal play last night...and the week before for that matter.

I know it's summer and people have priorities that take them away from class from time to time, and rightly so. It's tough from a teaching perspective because we get into this great territory together and I'm thinking, "Oh man...i wish so and so were here for this. They'd be running with it too." Hey, it's life, and we can't have everything all the time. perfectly understandable.

I cannot wait for the next Level One to start here in the next 2 weeks or so. We've already got several people in for it, and we need about 4 more solid committments to make it really fly. We've got a series of Knucklebones coming up that will rock along with the party next weekend. I'm so happy that we have a place to do this in Atlanta.

Which reminds me...one gentleman who saw the show last weekend stayed afterward and talked to me about how amazing everyone was. He asked how much of it was scripted. No matter how often I hear that, it always amazes me. He was very jazzed about the level of committment to each other, the imaginations unleashed, and he summed it up by saying..."It's really play." Yes! He's going to take the class with us.

We had a great show Saturday. The first half was a fun mix of people with Jonathan, Damian, Dan, Kasey, Corrin, Jim and me. I don't even really remember all that happened except a large final scene involving a morphing/melding of all the characters from the show.

The second half was JaCKPie plus Damian (with Corrin on lights). It rocked too. At some point about halfway through, the concept behind the movie "Sliding Doors" came into play which led to a fast-paced finish brought to a lovely close by our improviser on lights. The players and the audience were all playing in the same world it seemed. Those are great moments. More people need to know how much fun this can be and play with us (in the audience and on stage).
